I have opted to stay anonymous to shield my identity from the embarrassment. The previous night, I got hungry and chose to make some ramen. I removed the various packets from the bowl, put in the flavor and dried vegetables, then put the bowl in the microwave. After about a short while or two, I noticed something was wrong. A awful burning smell had saturated my kitchen. I opened the door to my microwave and…low and behold…I had forgotten to put in water. There was some smoke coming from the bowl. Not wanting to discard the ramen, I went to the sink and put in water, which engulfed the room with acrid smoke for several seconds. I then put the bowl once more in the microwave and cooked it for two more minutes before attempting to eat it. Well…It went okay for a little while, until I encountered a globule of blackened noodles which had transformed into some sort of strange crystalline substance unknown to humanity. I had a change of heart.
