Three days ago, I tried walking home from my friend's house and got completely lost. My phone didn't even die. I just didn't know how to read the GPS. Three days better, and I have no food, no better. It's just me and my thoughts. And my thoughts are all about how hungry I am. If only I could have a burger with two charbroiled patties and American slices of cheese, grilled onions, classic sauce, shredded lettuce, and tomato on a seeded bun.
