It's midnight. Your in the kitchen. You tried to go to sleep but you've had one thing on your mind for the past two hours and sleep is just going to have to take a hike. You walk over to the cupboard with a delighted smile on your face. As you are about to open the cupboard door you hear your loved one call out, "Hun, come back to bed". You smoothly respond, "I'll be there in a few minutes dear". In the back of your mind your thinking, "Shut up, I'm on an epic fucking quest right now!". You stir those crazy thoughts aside and continue on to opening the cupboard door. As you open the door you visualize magnificent light slowly peering out. You open the door all the way and your treasure glooms at you. Sitting there silently and graciously is a tub of crunchy peanut butter. You slowly reach out towards your prize. As your hands grasp the tub of peanut butter time freezes around you. For a split second the universe around you stands still. You have grabbed one of the three items you will need to complete this quest. An exciting/overwhelming feeling has fallen upon you. You snap back to reality and continue to placing the tub of peanut butter on the counter and closing the cupboard door. The journey for the second item needed to complete this task is now under way. As you take a step back from the counter and make your way towards the fridge you hear your loved one call out, "Hun, come back to bed". You smoothly respond again, "Just a second dear". In the back of your mind your thinking, "Don't poke the bear lady, he's short of honey and eager for a fix!". All thoughts aside, you make your way towards the fridge. As you stand in front of the fridge the fridge beckons you, "Only the worthy may enter". You stand still for a second not sure what just happened. With a surpised look on your face your thinking, "Did my fridge just fucking talk to me?". You realize that it's late and that this journey is waring on you. You open the fridge and grab the strawberry jam. Time does not stand still this time through because your getting impatient and you've had enough of these shenanigans. As you close the door you give the fridge a kick and say, "Teach you to speak like that to me you cold hearted bitch!". You place the jam next to the peanut butter. Two of the three items needed to complete this task are now in your possession. The path to the next item will be a short one because it sits off to the corner on top of the counter next to the peanut butter and jam. This item is the bread. You look in awe as your treasure awaits your assemblement. You quickly throw a peanut butter and jam sandwich together which turns out to be picture perfect. This is the moment you have been waiting for. The path to completion of this beautiful piece of art is over. You hold the sandwich in both of your hands picturing a colosseum of people around you chanting your name. You raise the sandwich to your lips and just as your about to sink your pearly whites in to it your loved one calls out, "Hun, come back to bed." Your about to respond but in the back of your mind the only emotion you feel is, Passion.
