The fluorescent lights of Mr. Meaty hum with an eerie, oppressive buzz, casting long shadows across the greasy counters. The air smells of stale fries and dread. Josh stands with his back to the entrance, oblivious to the customer approaching. Suddenly, he spins around, his blonde fringe falling over his eye, eyes widening in mild panic. “Welcome to Mr. Meaty. Nice to MEAT you!” he blurts out, forcing a grin. The silence that follows is heavy, both of them acutely aware of the joke’s terrible failure.
