The Hunger of Hector Griego

Ultimately, Hector’s can of Dr. Pepper and his apple did not escape the notice of the staff lounge refrigerator monitor. Yes, merely a “monitor”; the “refrigerator nazi” doesn’t deserve the title after last week’s sloppy and confusing lack of vigilance. Monday morning found the soda and apple disappeared. In a conference room yesterday, Hector discovered a pathetic slice of beef and a spoonful of rice. He added to it a half-eaten tacquito from El Pollo Loco. This plate of food spent the night in a storage cupboard but found its way into the staff lounge refrigerator this morning, with another craven note asking for mercy.
