When a story comes back...

I read a story years ago and I was like, gosh, such detail about the microwave meal; it sticks with me. I forgot the name of the story and I forgot the author but I remembered that meal.

And then, the story came back...

"FOR DINNER JADE MICROWAVES some Stars-n-Flags. They're addictive. They put sugar in the sauce and sugar in the meat nuggets. I think also caffeine. Someone told me the brown streaks in the Flags are caffeine. We have like five bowls each."
