 A boy leaves his home in Abilene at 18.

He wanders the world to explore cuisines all over. He tries exotic foods from across the world and writes food travel articles for the biggest publications around the world. Twenty years later, his father develops cancer and the boy returns home.

After dinner, sitting on the porch watching the sunset, the boy says, “Dad, I’ve travelled the world, eaten delicacies rarely tasted by outsiders. My palette is so refined, yet I cannot tell what you cooked tonight? What was that meat?”

The father pauses, looks out over the plains and says “Carrion, my wayward son.”
