Thanks so much, Trevor! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Meanwhile, my six year old doesn't like it because of how the story ends 😭

Getting a much more classic feel from this than Doctor Seuss. (But, then, I'm biased against Doctor Seuss.) I can't put my finger on it...it has more the feel of stone of the much older and wiser tales. Something more like The Emperors New Clothes.

On a side note, sounds like he Didn'tSeasonHisFood™️. If only the people knew that The Expert™️ had long since cooked his tastebuds with an overabundance of sugar and capsaicin!

The people needn't worry, though. The Expert™️ will soon assure them that infinity Murderlandians will bring them dishes most delectible and flavors most desirable from the far corners of the Earth.

It it's not broken, don't fix it. Beware the snobs who try to rain on a parade. Wonderful tale, Josh.

Cute story! Is it based on any "expert" in particular?

Haha, not really. I kind of just pulled him out of thin air.
