The Death of Bees (2012)
“Macdonald hasn’t mentioned my birthday. He doesn’t know and I am glad of it. There is no cake and there are no candles. There is eggs and there is bacon. Food of the proletariat. There are also potato scones but I don’t care for any of it. I only eat what I eat.
He slurps his tea like a navvy, I observe. He offers beans. He offers cola in a glass. There are no cornflakes.
“I need cereal,” I announce.
He tells the waitress. She nods and brings me a bite-size box of Krispies.
“No,” I gasp in horr...or. “I need cornflakes. Cornflakes. Please. I can’t eat these. I want cornflakes.”
“It’s okay. Calm down. We’ll get you cornflakes,” he assures me.
His voice is gentle and I feel quite calmed.
The waitress is quick to return.
“Can you take these back?” he asks. “We need cornflakes over here.”
“So I heard,” she mocks. Awful woman. Jangling earrings and nails like Nosferatu himself. She is cheap and unwholesome.
Within minutes she returns with a similar-size box of what has to be the best of nourishment.MoreLess
