His mom knocked on his door. "Jon, come down for dinner."
He went downstairs and saw his family already sitting at the table. His 10-year old comic-book-loving brother Mikey, his 14-year old Goth sister Zoe, and his mom. His dad worked out of town, so he was rarely home.
He sat down at the table, looking down at his food: meatloaf. Jon hated meatloaf. Then he thought of something. He still had the Salt of Desire in his hand. He could change what he was eating.
He looked around the table to make sure no one was looking and he sprinkled some of the salt on his meatloaf. It immediately became a cheeseburger, complete with a tomato, lettuce, and bun.
It worked!
He put the salt shaker down on the table, so that he could eat the cheeseburger. It tasted just like a cheeseburger should taste. This was amazing. He looked back up at the shaker. But it was gone.
He looked around and saw that Zoe had grabbed it. And she was about to use it, thinking it was normal salt!
