Seared Memories

It is a natural and unavoidable phenomenon that all sprints—no matter their scope nor intensity—come to an end. We, the agile, dash through the same valley, toward the same goal, carrying the same torch. None of us as keenly aware of this fact as our commander-in-beef, Brigor.

In the plains of northern Ohio, dwelt a grill-master of great brio. The cows that eat grass, must look after their ass, lest they fall victim to the BBQ maestro.

With a sprinkle of rub and a dollop of sauce, the BBQ Maestro showed why he's the boss. No sooner did meat touch his burning hot grill than a noise came from afar most awful and shrill. He tried to ignore it, he did try his best, but the sound was so bad his meats could not rest.

Once the BBQ temp hit 350, he closed the lid and turned his attention to the screams in the distance. As he was removing his shoes to minimize the sound of his footsteps among the trees, he saw a flash out of the corner of his eye. Frozen with fear he muttered, "it can't be"

Startled, the BBQ maestro fell cheeks-first on the burning hot grill. After only a few seconds, natterns were permanently seared onto his seat. Brigor rushed to the rescue, quickly pulling the maestro back to his feet. "I have thick legs" uttered the silver-backed man-ape...

"Holdonasecond.YOU CAN TALK" said the BBQ maestro to the ape, noticing indeed its thick legs. "Am I dreaming? Did apes always have such GREAT hair? Why is my bottom burning so much?!Where are we going?!". And shortly after found himself sitting on a branch on a very tall tree.

Bemillionaire Brigor couldn't be bothered to answer the panicked inquiries and flicked a few Sellys at the maestro to calm his yammering. Brigor was (fashionably) late for his tailor appointment to design a new thiccc boy suit inspired by Lineup's latest big-time customer signing

Brigor's new suite was a big hit. He got used to strangers approaching him out of the blue with compliments on its unorthodox style or uncanny fit. That's why her slight caught him off guard. But the sting of its sarcasm evaporated with the sight of her slender figure.

Barbara was a striking woman with an ease about her that captivated Brigor. When he was in her presence everything else would fade away, transporting him to a place where only the two of them existed. She was his whole world and all that mattered was that he win her heart.
