Migraine: The Journal of a Suicidal Cook

All Rights Reserved ©

Summary

It's the worst year of your life. You slit your wrists. You failed at killing yourself. You now have superpowers. What would you do? MIGRAINE: The journal of a Suicidal Cook is the collection of ideas and opinions of a disgruntled thirty year-old line cook. His pessimistic view of the world takes a sudden veer into cheery when he bumps into a girl at the bank. Nicci perks him up and sets his new found sunny disposition on a course for the heavens. This ride is shortly lived as she cuts him out of her life unexpectedly. He plummets back to earth with the weight of hell's hate on his shoulder. Sulking to a pad of paper, he pens out his remaining miserable existence. He documents his life as his world becomes surreal. His body begins to go through changes. His abilities become super-human. His rational side assumes a tumor pressing in on his brain is causing him to hallucinate. As he waits for the test results, he rampages through the streets of downtown Chicago fulfilling every animal instinct and morbid desire. MIGRAINE: The journal of a Suicidal Cook is an unforgiving and often brutal journey filled with grotesque detail into the depravity and mental decline of an accidental terrorist and serial killer.

Chapter 1: July 21

What’s worse than having a job making shitty food inside a shitty bar inside a shitty hotel? Getting fired from a job making shitty food inside a shitty bar inside a shitty hotel.

I can see myself in a tub of my own blood as a real possibility. The fear of pain is whittling away into a mildly inconvenient hurdle.

I hate my fucking job. I’m not getting fired, I don’t think, but my negative attitude must shine through me like a beacon. I’m the anchor for team morale.

I did it again today; thought starting a journal might help me figure out what it means; something a doctor can use for some play by play replay.

Maybe Luis has been dropping some illicit drugs into my vodka bottle. I don’t think he’s that devious. He’s been a cool guy, a decent landlord, and roommate.

I’ve been normal and quiet. Something any roommate should cherish. Don’t see why he’d want to upset my day. Unless he thinks he’s improving my day, then maybe we should have a talk.
