Fletch the Oven Master

The fluorescent glow of the Pizza Hut kitchen had never been Fletch's preferred lighting. His natural habitat, the realm of the orcs, boasted the harsh, beautiful glare of volcanic ash and the flickering torchlight of cavernous halls. Here, it was the relentless hum of fryers and the clatter of pizza trays. Fletch, an ogre-type monster whose hulking frame barely fit beneath the low-slung ceilings, had endured another shift. The final buzzer for the last delivery order echoed like a distant war drum. Fletch, whose official title was, "Oven Master & Dough Specialist", slammed a fresh Supreme into its thermal bag. "Done", he rumbled, a sound that made the teenage cashier jump. The red Pizza Hut polo, stretched taut across his broad, greenish chest, felt like a straightjacket. The smell of processed cheese and stale bread clung to him like a desperate limpet. He didn't bother with the staff locker room. The polo was ripped off with a single, powerful tug...

My Message to Provocative Opposing Peers

Declaring your stance, "I don't understand," genuinely invokes the sentiment within me that I couldn't care less if indeed, comprehension evades you. This apathetic response doesn't stem from a place of cruelty, but rather from a sense of personal overload, as I find myself grappling with diverse perspectives and complexities.

It's intriguing that you'd approach me with an apparent lack of comprehension, as if hoping that the confounding labyrinths of your thoughts could somehow become my burden. This deflection is an intricate dance of avoidance, a strategic maneuver to shift responsibility and maintain your position of perceived intellectual superiority.

As I stand here, attempting to navigate the maze of your mind, I can't help but wonder what it is that you truly wish for me to grasp. Are you seeking validation for the emotional turmoil that you wish to impart upon me, or is it the complex web of confusion that you find solace in?




Regardless of your intentions, I invite you to take a step back and examine your own thought processes. A mutual understanding is not an imposition, but rather a collaborative journey where both parties are willing to engage and evolve. If you're truly seeking comprehension and connection, then let's endeavor to embark on this path together, with open minds and a shared commitment to understanding.

However, if your goal is simply to overwhelm and confound, I must respectfully decline your invitation to participate in this exercise of mental gymnastics. The weight of your confusion is yours to bear, and I am not inclined to become entangled in its convoluted embrace.

So, I ask you once more: What is it that you want me to understand? The ball is in your court, and I await your response with a mixture of curiosity and determination. Only together can we unravel the tangled threads of miscommunication and mismatched perspectives, revealing the truth that lies hidden beneath the veil of confusion. But the first step must come from you – a willingness to articulate your thoughts, to share your story, and to engage in a genuine exchange of understanding.
