Chapter 2
James walked over to a dry patch of soil and began with building the fire. Tinder first, then the kindling.
“You start the fire while I go get some bigger sticks, alright?”
Tom raised his hands in protest, to show James they were all bloody, but James was already on his way away from him. “Sure,” he muttered to himself, making a face. He put the rabbit down, reached into his pocket to grab the matches and the pack of cigarettes, and crouched next to the half built fireplace. He took one cigarette and put it in his mouth, then with a single match started the fire first, and then his cigarette. With nothing to do, he sat down on the floor, closed his eyes and relaxed.
Not soon after he could hear footsteps closing in. It was James. Tom ignored the footsteps until James got very close and dropped all the wood down to the ground.
“This should do. Load it up, and I’ll get the rabbit and seasoning ready.” James hinted to Tom to get up and be useful.
“You know what? How about I cook today?”
“I’m not saying no, but… Why?”
“Well, judging by yesterday’s eggs, before you cook a good meal there will probably be Africans in outer space.”
"First African in space"

It would be a shame to have a good rabbit turn out like James' eggs! Nice way to work in the prompt!
You've already written the prompt for today but, since you said last week that you were in the mood for some chocolate...
Agreed! Pure blasphemy, that would be. :P

Too bad I couldn't give you a real cake. I'm curious what sort of response I get to that! ;)

Yeah, it was kind of like the "syrup" one.. I knew how I wanted to implement it... just needed some story to lead to that line. haha :D And it turned out the story prior got kind of long... haha :D
