“I can smell the ocean in the distance. The salt wraps around my body, making my skin feel tight, and already I want to shower. I can do big cities, and small cities, and the even the occasional mountaintop is cool. But oceans are ridiculous. They take up way too much space in this overcrowded world and are filled with creatures that have several sets of teeth, like one row of man-eating teeth isn’t enough.

It was then! When he slid the eggs across the heated oil in the skillet in that quick flip. Was that enough to infuse the raw egg with all the flavor of the seasonings?!"
"?! Wait, you can do that?"

"I've got about one second to cram all that flavor into the raw egg. And to do that, cheapo bland eggs are a better choice than high-end eggs with a strong flavor.
Can you even imagine it? All that thick, raw egg...
... practically bursting with the flavor of sesame oil, garlic, and roasted soy sauce.
Go on, try a bite. Then you'll understand.
Don't let it get cold.
DIG IN."
The scent of garlic and roasted spring onion...
So heavy, it's just this side of being so much you could choke.
The thickness of it all strokes the tongue.
With each bite...
... the roasted soy sauce mixes with the rice...
... while the raw egg...
...slides slickly down the throat.”
