Here is your prompt fill it out and continue it as you will.: You are eating inside a restaurant when someone comes up to you, shouts your name, and slams a box of frozen fish sticks at your table.
……………………………………………….
This is a callback to an older post of mine, although is different in crucial ways. https://forum.scribblehub.com/threa...sticks-and-are-told-to-get-back-to-work.6722/

*Bang*

"DO THESE LOOK LIKE CHICKEN THIGHS TO YOU DAIMEN!" George shouted, disrupting the other seated diners.

"Umm... no?" Daimen replied, confused as to why his boss was bothering him during his lunch break.

"You are god damn right they are not! Which leads me to wonder, why you ordered twelve pallets of the blasted things? This is a chicken shack, not some blasted fish monger!" The man growled, gripping the edges of the table. "Now, get in the back and fix this crap!"

Daimen took the napkin and cleaned his mouth calmly, then stood up. "Naw, I don't think I will. Enjoy your fish, asshole. That's what you get for docking my pay last month for being three minutes late for opening when you had me clean until 3 am the night before."

Daimen walked out of there, head held high, his revenge finally complete.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Doctor - I forgot the custard. Fortunately, that's a specialty of this place, so why don't you join us?"
She huffed at this. "That was SO four regenerations ago..." and flounced out. I felt a little guilty for admiring the view, as our relationship went back a few decades and he wasn't always like this...

Hmm. I saw the title "Fish Sticks" and I'd assumed that was the whole prompt. Oh well.

---

[David Attenborough voice]
You see, here, the male fish stick searching the kitchen for an adequate place to build a nest. If he fails, the female will not lay there, and his legacy will be erased.
A predator.
He ducks behind the walk-in.
It's a rotisserie chicken.
He has to stay perfectly still until the danger passes.
The chicken smells something.
It's mashed potatoes.
With the rotisserie chicken gone, he resumes his search.
There in the break room, he finds a half-eaten packet of cocktail sauce. Will it be enough to draw a female fish stick?
He gets to work...

Leilani angrily gets up from the table and spits haughtily at the individual intruding into her meal. "I have told you a hundred times!" she seeths, teeth bared. "I'm not joining the Moonies! Good day to you!" And with that, she tosses a few silver dollars on the table and leaves. ?
