The risturante

by James Tomas

The Risturante is about a plane crash on an uninhabited Island somewhere in the Indian Ocean. The pilot was killed upon the crash and four others survived. Some with minor injuries and others with severe life threatening injuries. From the onset they survived on whatever they could find to eat like grub worms, ant eggs, coconut milk and coconut flesh, termites, and fish they were able to catch with spears they fashioned. Two of the surviving four eventually died. One from his injuries, and the other from dysentery. The surviving two lived off of what they could find until their food source depleted and they had nothing. After weeks of no food and fresh water running out, one of the last two survivors became ill, delirious, and incoherent, so in order to survive, he was killed, cooked and eaten by the remaining survivor. Sometime later the remaining survivor was rescued, and after returning home and opening a restaurant he named The Risturante, he began stalking the homeless of the streets of Los Angeles, killing and dismembering them, skinning them, deboning them, and not only cooking and eating the meat himself, but serving it to his customers.
