you
Richards Friday night started like every
other after finishing his last win
status he traveled home alone
Richard knew when he got home the house
would be empty
so as usual they decided to grab some
food on the way
his mom was working the late shift again
and his deadbeat dad would still be out
getting a pack of smokes that he'd been
out buying for past eleven years without
returning so there was no rush to
immediately head home on his way home
Richard stopped by the local pasarĆa
just down the road from his house hungry
Pete's pieces he couldn't help trying
the latest weekly special so much so his
order was usually ready by the time he
stepped foot through the door
Richard enjoyed his weekly visits to the
pizza place it was one of the few places
he could let his guard down share with
someone the travels of being a teenager
love interests school life and bullies
however in the back of his mind he
always felt a certain weariness around
Pete he couldn't quite put his finger on
why but most nights a pizza helped him
forget his doubts hungry Pete was a
welcoming man most of the time his
imposing overlay around physique and
bright red puffy face somehow made him
easy to talk to purr Richard no matter
the trouble switch had found himself in
like the time Sam from school football
team they said it he didn't like
Richards face and wanted to rearrange it
for him daily he would spot Richard look
at his watch or announce its beating
time before pummeling Richard to the
ground after a long night talking to
pate Richard was never bothered again by
Sam in fact Richard was pretty sure he
hadn't seen Sam since that night but
didn't deal on the tour too much and was
just thankful he no longer had to hide
from him at first one of the more
placing aspects of hungry Pete was the
authentic feel of the place right down
to the handwritten world menu admittedly
riddled with spelling mistakes and
quirks but still charming nonetheless
over time Richard began to notice little
changes at the pizzeria mainly the
special on the menu that changed weekly
at first he
thought the names were just may
acquaintances or that Pete had added the
names after his conversations with
Richard but the doubt in Richards mind
real with each new addition additions
such as chicken supreme no more mixed
signals here this is the one for you
barbaric you sauce meat feast wider on
choice is out of your hands this is the
one for you carbonara no need to watch
your weight
this carbonara won't judge you anymore
it was only when this week's special
went up on the wall that Richard
couldn't ignore the signs any longer how
I installed Sam and pineapple pizza a
real homegrown treat a great little
kicker for the weekend too Richard had
to somehow get into the kitchen without
alerting Pete Richert hatched a plan as
he walked through the door and he knew
he had to act fast as the Bell above the
door rang and Pete appeared Richard
rushed forward towards the counter with
urgency in his voice he told Pete he
just seen two guys trying to pry open
his truck door around back
Pete's face contorted into rage a cold
shiver ran through Richard as Pete
stormed past him saying thanks to
clenched teeth
Pete swung the door open and disappeared
into the night to stop the would-be
thieves as the front door swung sharp
behind Pete Richard ceased the movement
and ran around the counter pushing his
weight with a large heavy door as he
entered the kitchen he was met by the
horrid pungent smell trying to stop
himself in his tracks his feet slipped
from beneath him on the greasy kitchen
floor legs flaming in the air he landed
on his back
from where he lay he could see an
unhealthy large amount of meat
tenderizers on the bare stainless steel
counter the kitchen looked closer to a
butcher's kitchen than a pasarĆa with
meat hooks holding half cut lengths of
god-knows-what and dishes of discarded
off cart Richard Stromberg began to turn
slowly getting to his feet
Richard reached out for the closest
countertop his head had began to feel
pain with a sight before him in the
corner stood an old fashioned meat
grinder Pete must have been interrupted
while grinding as meat stills seep out
the one side while a large chunk of
dangled from the other Richard wouldn't
have been noticed the grinder at all if
it wasn't for a metallic clean coming
from the steel to be ground chunk of
meat out of the one end but what was
that glint it took a while for Richard
to realize what stood before him in the
grinder as he edged closer a subtle
ticking could be heard
sure enough the mangled meat jutting out
of the grinder was what Richard had
begun to realize which sheer revulsion
Richard gagged at the sight of Sam's hub
chewed out arm complete with watch
hanging out of the grinder
the next few hours were a blur for
Richard police came and sealed up the
pies area bombarded him with questions
and at one point held him as an
accomplice after further searches of the
fast-food establishment the police
concluded a minimum of five
half-consumed victims with the missing
remains likely effect to the locals
passed off as weekly specials each
victim being a student at the local high
school nobody saw Pete again he left no
trace after leaving to confirm the
alleged car thieves the police prezi we
spotted Richard heading into the kitchen
and made a run for it to get ahead of
the law but I know otherwise you see
Pete listened to reach it intently about
his travels and his home life and the
one thing that always stuck with Pete
was how hard Richard's mother work and
how Epps and his father was he didn't
have to wait to meet Richard again by
chance no he was going to pay him a home
visit
