Creative Writing :The Meal

My date and I both began to chew; we then put the spoons in our mouths and pulled out a mouthful of food. We then placed these mouthfuls into the bowls we had been given, we repeated this process, and each time we took a mouthful out we would make cutting motions through the chocolate gateau that was slowly taking shape. Each time we moved our spoons in this cutting motion, it was as if we were gluing the cake back together.

Once we had finished making our dessert, the waiter came over and took our bowls and the food away. He carried it back into the kitchen back wards. He came out backwards with menus. He asked us for our order and gave us the menus. My date and I looked at the menus, and as we did, a man came around with a bucket of water, with some roses. He noticed my date had a rose, so came over. I took the red flower off of her and gave it to the man, who wasn't very well dressed. He handed me a pound coin, and walked away from the table backwards.

The waiter then came over and took the menus away from us. He walked backwards into the kitchen, and brought out two dirty plates, some knives and forks. We thanked him, and once again began chewing, and then taking the food out of our mouths and sticking it back together. I made a lovely beef stroganoff, and my date made a delicious battered lemon sole. They looked marvelous; we had presented them extremely well.

Our waiter walked out of the kitchen backwards and took away our plates. We thanked him very much, and told him how delicious the food looked. He proceeded to take our plates of food back into the kitchen.

He came out backwards perhaps ten minutes later and placed two empty soup bowls on front of us. We placed some dirty spoons in our mouths and pulled out spoons filled with soup. We tried to heat it up by blowing it and then we poured it into our bowls. We progressed, and filled our bowls with steaming hot tomato soup. The waiter once again, kindly took these away for us.

He came back out whilst my date and I were deep in conversation. He took our order and gave us some menus. We browsed the menus and a short time later, the waiter came back out and took them. We then stood up and the waiter showed us backwards out of the restaurant.
