fiction challenge: Cheeseburger

The Perfect Burger

  Cleaning products, specifically spray bottles and mops. That's how I have built this empire that I stand on top of today. I pioneered the new age of household cleanliness, and now here I am, I'm the 57th richest man in the world, with my face printed on every bottle of  lavender scented spray in millions of homes across the U.S. However I have much greater plans for the future. Ever since I was little, I've dreamed of the next frontier, and I'm not talking about space. I'm talking about something far more complex, far more intricate and revolutionary. I’m of course talking of the American Cheeseburger, the perfect Cheeseburger. A Cheese burger is made up of a few simple ingredients, a bun, a patie, some cheese, and usually some tomatoes, lettuce and pickles. To make the perfect burger, you need to gather up the finest ingredients. For example, I led an expedition down to the congo in search of a very special kind of lettuce, in theory, this lettuce has the perfect crunch, a crunch that could put the potato chip to shame, but it had a subtle flavor that perfectly meshed and contrasted he meaty and fattiness of the patie. So far I have three of these ingredients, all I need are the pickles, tomatoes, pickles, buns and the right person to complete the dish, and that  person shall be me.
