Consider this.
A newlywed couple gets into an argument one morning.
It starts off as a petty squabble about a clogged up drain
but ends up becoming a guided tour of every single issue that has ever plagued the relationship.
Insults are heaved.
parental comparisons are made. Reoccurring themes are established. When all is said and done, the two parties march off to separate sides of the apartment and quietly seethe. Yet the anger doesn't last long. As a lazy Sunday morning turns into a lazy Sunday afternoon, the words used in the bloodletting seem overly sharp. They both feel kind of guilty. She's sprawled out on the bed with a book, rereading the same paragraph for the seventh time.
When he peeks into the bedroom, she pretends not to notice him.
He is about to apologize, but he is a bit too proud for that.
Instead, he offers an olive branch.
Are you hungry?
She shrugs.
Kinder.
I'm going to Pavils.
You want something?
Chipotle cheeseburger and a soda.
She bats her eyelashes.
I love you, he blots out, surprising himself.
Love you too, she says.
going back to a book. It isn't until he realizes he doesn't have breakfast. His mouth waters
of Pavel's bistro's Chipotle cheeseburger. The image of his future lunch looms in his mind's eye,
a tangible delight hiding just a couple blocks and minutes away from him. By the time he walks out
on the street, the thought of the burger becomes tangible. He can smell the freshly baked bun.
He can feel the juices
He tickle down his chin
It's as if the burger
His mouth
His stomach feels warm and satiated
As if it had already accepted the first bite
A perfect manifestation
of Pavel's bistro Chippoly Burger
Exists in the man's head
The thought remains in his mind
As the man is blindsided
By a grey scot of Fabia
The taste of the burger
lingers in his mouth
As he's lifted off his feet
and propelled at breakneck speed into the asphalt. The first time his skull connects with the pavement, the taste
jambles into a burnt facsimile of the Chipotle cheeseburger. On his second bounce, the man loses consciousness.
On his third, his brains spill across the sidewalk. The more spiritually inclined among you
might wonder what happens to this man's essence, to his memories, to his sense of self,
his soul, will. Will he carry on? Will the argument, will, will the argument, keep him tied to the mortal realm?
The question no one asks, the question that truly needs to be answered, is the question of what happens to that perfectly manifested thought of the cheeseburger.
There was a constant flow of customers in and out of Pavel's bistro. We were, after all, one of the best burger joints in Prague.
Every day,
Of hung over tourists
Picky hipsters
Would give me their orders
Yet, all of their words
Were just background noise
There was only one customer
Who would always have my full attention
A single mystery
That kept my mind occupied
Through the long hours
The Chipotle guy
Early 30s
Drab jacket
Receding hairline
He didn't look like anything special
But beneath the
that urban camouflage, there was something eerie. He'd been in the bistro every day at precisely six past
one. If there was a line, he would patiently wait. But if you watched them closely, you could see a
nervous tap in his foot. It was the same order every day too, two Chipotle Cheeseburgers and a
soda. He refused to hear the specials or recommendations or any attempt at small talk. Just two
Chipotle cheeseburgers, not a thought of thought of
he'd order the food to go, but as soon as his order was finished,
he'd take out one of the burgers from the bag and eat it in the restaurant.
The moment he was done with this burger, he would get up and leave.
Every day, six past one, two Chipotle cheeseburgers and a soda.
When I brought up the specter of the Chipotle Guide to my co-workers,
They laughed, and when they realised, and when they avoided eye contact.
I knew that there was something impossibly odd about the Jopoli guy.
I just couldn't put my finger on it.
For weeks I doubted myself, questioned my own sanity.
But my suspicions became certainties during a spring thunderstorm.
It was the type of storm that makes you fear a flood.
The world outside was condensed into roaring thunder and the occasional splashing by.
All morning, we only managed one sale, a single cup of coffee to a drenched dog walker.
He ran in when the storm picked up, ordered a hot drink to dry off, watched the unrelenting downpour for 15 minutes and then ran back out to take his chances.
I watched the clock the whole day, counting down the minutes, gathering all of my doubts.
six past one, right on cue.
the Chipotle guy was there.
He ordered his two burgers, sat down to eat one of them, got up and left.
Yet, as I saw him walk out of the restaurant, as I traced back his path to the table and to his seat,
a jittery satisfaction crawled at my spine.
The man had not left any tracks.
It was pouring outside,
yet somehow,
I did not have the answer yet.
my doubts had vanished.
there was something unearthly going on.
I could feel myself inching closer
to uncovering the true nature of the Chapolet guy.
I knew I had to follow him.
My lungs didn't approve,
but I negotiated my morning cigarette break
to be moved to the early afternoon.
The park outside saw.
of the bistro made for a perfect vantage point. The eccentric vagrants which hung out
around the benches were harmless, but discomforting enough to ensure that no one spent too much
time in eye contact. With my apron off and a little bit of luck, the Chipotle guy wouldn't notice
me watching him. The afternoon after the thunderstorm, I lit up and patiently waited for the
mystery to unravel. Half past one he was out of the bistro. The man walked past the
benches, completely oblivious to my presence. He simply stared straight ahead, his takeout bag dangling
in his hand. As he reached the edge of the park, however, the takeout bag slipped from his hand
and ended up on the benches. It didn't stay there long. Within a blink, one of the transient park
dwellers had snatched it up and rustled through its contents with hungry eyes. The Chipotle guy
just kept on walking. Letting go of the bag wasn't a slip.
The whole affair played out with a smoothness of daily routine.
I got up from my bench and followed the Chipotle guy further.
We walked through the maze of Prague for nearly half an hour.
We crossed through the well-lit passageways etched into the Parisian houses, through the
winding Gothic streets, through crowds of stag parties looking for Irish pubs.
Not for a single second did the man slow down.
He moved with measured determination, not let him.
anything getting his way. It wasn't until he reached a quiet,
residential area that he stopped. The street was completely empty. It was a type of
place where drivers would sneak peek at the text or just read GPS directions. The
Chipotle guy stopped at a crosswalk, took a deep breath and stepped out onto the
crossing. What I saw next obliterated any of my doubts about the unnatural
nature of the chapolet guy. Before the man's
connected with the crossing, as if he were whisked away by a force
foreign to rational thought. He disappeared.
After I returned back to Pavel's bistro, I was chastised
for my extended smoke break, yet the yelling of the manager was
nothing but a screeching backdrop to my internal monologue.
I knew what I'd seen. I was certain of it.
Research was in order.
I travelled to the forbidden
of the internet.
I peered
inaccessible through all
but the most niche of browsers.
I scroll through forums
where poor rambling grammar gave way to
forbidden secrets.
I read other accounts of mysterious customers.
My evenings became filled with stories
of reoccurring demands
for outdated menu items of strange requests
of desperate beings struggling to find meaning and family
owned businesses. Only after weeks of inquiry, when I was certain, of the true nature of my mysterious
did I confront him. Want to smoke? I asked. I wasn't hiding this time. I was right outside of the
bistro as he walked out. The man looked confused, as if he was unaccustomed to being spoken to
about anything unrelated to his order. No, I don't smoke. He finally said, and started to start to
to walk away. Why not? I yelled after him. It's not like they
you. He stopped. What do you mean? His voice was completely void of emotion. You can't die from
lung cancer, I said. If you're already dead, the take-up bag rustled in his shaking hand.
Something horrid rested behind his beady eyes. A steady burning flame ready to crackle to life
at a moment's notice. What do you want? He hissed through his teeth. Details, I said. I want to know how
you died. He strode up to me. He smelled just like a burger grill. A burger grill covered in the
child mistakes of yesteryear. I owe you nothing. His tone made me feel unsafe. There was a
threatening hollowness to it, an inhuman quality.
He stared at me, stoke in my dread with his lifeless eyes.
And then, when I was sure he would snatch me away and take me to some horrible realm, he left.
The knowledge that I had instigated some sort of primal eldridge force kept sleep from me that night.
My mind filled with thoughts of death of a shrieking, desperate sentience demanding to walk the world after being rid of its mortal coil.
I promised
I promised, one,
one where I would not
to interact with spirit.
yet, before I could
fully commit to quitting,
I found myself
standing at the counter
of Pavel's Bistro.
Six past one,
he walked in.
The man made his order,
as he always did,
and I told him the price.
It was as if nothing had changed,
as if the previous day
was a figment of my imagination.
Yet, as he paid me,
Our eyes met. The same hollow expression from the day prior lingered on his face.
I owe you nothing, he hissed. I nodded.
He placed the money on the counter, paying far too much.
With the cash he had put down, he could have afforded a dozen Chipotle cheeseburgers,
but instead he simply repeated his order.
Keep the change, he said, sitting down on his usual spot.
Then he patiently waited for his burger, ate his burger, and was out the door by half-past one.
The scene repeated itself over the coming days.
Each time the man would pay for his order, he would buy my silence with some...
Change.
The details of the mystique surrounding the Chipotle guy was still foreign to me.
But the extra income he provided was enough to let me be content with not knowing the location or circumstances of his passing.
His daily tips slowly bloated into a rainy day fund.
If there ever was to be a storm, a lack of work, or a mystery, or a mystery that required my full attention,
I would be just as dry as the Chipotle guy.
We carried on our secret dealings for months.
Our exchange became wordless.
I would simply provide two Chipotle cheeseburgers without taking needless questions,
and he would put a dent in my rent.
It seemed as if our partnership had reached a perfect equilibrium,
but the waters of the Prague's
are seldom calm
Prague being a stone's throw away
from Hamburg
takes its burgers seriously
each summer there is a burger
festival where any restaurant that
offers anything even remotely similar
to a hamburger is in attendance
those who fare well at the burger festival
are flooded with customers
who crave the best of the best
that summer
Pavel's bistro's presence was undeniable
at the burger fest
and so were the crowds that followed our awards.
The owner was beyond ecstatic
about our newfound fame.
The side of the lines made him puff up his shoulders
and approached the grill with a newfound gusto.
The Chipotle guy tolerated the crowds
although his dislike of waiting in line
became much more pronounced.
His foot tapping became audible
he would break out into coughing fits
if the uninitiated customer
started taking up my time by asking about the sourcing of our meat.
The Chipotle guy knew
He couldn't do anything
Yet, yet
There was another party that disliked our newfound fame
Our competitors
Palms were greased
Evidence was fabricated
Strings were pulled
And before we knew it
Pavel's Bistro was shut down on health code violations
The shutdown only lasted a week
But any hint of a health code violation
Is a blow in the restaurant industry
I'm ashamed to say
that during my week-long vacation, I did not think about the Chipotle guy.
I simply enjoyed sitting around in my pajamas all day, dwelling into the darker parts of the internet,
and dining lavishly thanks to my rainy day fund.
I thought about how work would be calmer once the crowds left,
how I would have more time to explore fantastic concepts in my daydreams at work.
At no point did I consider how the Chipotle guy might be handling his hunger for the cheeseburgers.
I will never forget what I will never forget that Monday morning when I return to work.
The ghastly apparition of the Chipotle guy will forever remain embedded in my dreams.
The memory of his wild, pleading voice will forever haunt any silence I encounter.
The creature that I met that morning was a far cry from my regular customer.
As I walked through the park to get to work, he leapt at me.
Chipotle Cheeseburger, he screamed.
If it was not for his clothes, I would not have recognised him.
That drab coat that I had seen day after day
was the only thing that was familiar about him.
It was the only thing that even suggested humanity.
The man's skin had gone a horrid,
ashy shade of grey.
His pupils had completely dissipated
into the milky glow of his eyeballs.
His fingers had morphed into sharp, black claws,
which were digging into my arms.
Chipotle cheeseburgers!
He screamed. His breath smelled
His teeth moved. His teeth
His teeth spreading deep down his throat. The Chipotle

It was wild. Desperate.

stronger,
Chippole cheeseburger.
Chippoge burger.
Yes, I will bring as many as I can.
I felt his grip loosened around me.
I just need money.
I desperately searched for understanding in those bleak eyes.
For a second, it seemed like there was none to be found.
Like the Chipotle guy would tear apart my throat from sheer madness.
But after a terrifying eternity, the creature stood up.
He fished his own.
wallet out of his coat and handed it to me. As many chapolet cheeseburgers as can, he hissed.
I ran into the bistro and fired up the grill. I returned with half a dozen burgers that his wallet
afforded him. The grey creature jumped onto the food as if he was a rabid animal. The first burger

his eyes started to clear with a fourth burger.
By the fifth, his colour was starting to return.
He started to speak as he ate his final Chipotle burger.
Thank you, he said in between bites.
I'm sorry if I hurt you or scared you.
I don't know what this is, what this hunger is.
All I know is that every day I wake up with a full wallet and I crave the Chipotle
cheeseburger. I have to have it. Something within me screams for it. It's the only thing in life
makes sense to me. I eat my burger and then. He shoved the rest of the burger in his mouth.
I disappear. The Chipotle guy had transformed from a horrifying creature of the dark
into my regular, aggressively boring, daily customer. How did you die? I asked. He shrugged.
He didn't know.
All he knew was that he needed his daily chipotle cheeseburger.
He needed to smell the freshly baked bun to feel the juices of the meat trickled down his chin.
It was the one truth that drove him.
What about the other burger?
Why do you leave it behind?
He shrugged again.
I don't know, he said.
I just feel like it's not mine to eat.
And with that, he got up and left.
left. I saw him again at six past one, but we didn't speak of the morning. We simply went on with
our usual arrangement. He ordered his burgers and I collected an absurd tip. We never spoke
of the morning. Our exchanges soon became silent once more. For months we carried on.

the rain came. The world was struck with a plague. On the 12th of March 2020, the restaurants of Prague
closes doors to businesses in order to prevent the spread of the infectious disease,
a once thriving city of gourmet burgers had to bow its head low to McDonald's deliveries.
After months of silence, however, the streets are to fill with good food once more.
Pavel's Bistro and other businesses will be able to reopen outdoor seating
eating. The Chipotle guy's money has kept me afloat over the rainy months, but the thought of
returning to work next week makes me shiver to my core. I saw what one week of being denied his
calling caused him to turn into. I cannot imagine what monstrous effects 50 days of deprivation
will have. I fear that there are no amount of burgers to satiate the Chipotle cheeseburger guy.
I fear that his daily order will change.
