  Epic fame

  Andre had been very proud of that entree. He had envisioned it as a key element in the success of his new restaurant, his entitlement as a member of the upper class and the envy of every chef in town.When an epidemic plague was blamed on the special enzymes he had used in the entree, however, Andre lost his entrepreneur's license, all of his equity and his reputation. But that was only the first episode.As millions were entombed, an epoch began that affected the entire world.

  Andre became known as the entity that changed the planet. He was not entitled to stay in any land and hunted from country to country. His capture soon achieved epic proportions as each nation equipped Special Forces to find him and bring him to justice. It was the equivalent of a witch-hunt and Andre was eventually caught.

  The world never factored into the equation, however, that Andre was just a simple, nice man who had accidentally caused the death of millions. The equilibrium of justice was against him and he was sentenced to death on national television. Everyone thought this payment was equitable.

  As Andre was about to be executed the world gave a collective gasp when, having been asked for any last words, Andre said, "I have the cure!" No one had been able to stop the plague and suddenly the source of misery was also claiming to be the world's savior.

  Andre stepped down from the electric chair and said, "You have to have the main course.

  安德烈曾經(jīng)為正餐前那道開胃菜頗感自豪。他曾想像它是他新開張的餐館獲得成功的重要因素，是他成為上層社會(huì)的一員并獲得相應(yīng)權(quán)利的重要原因，同時(shí)也是他成為鎮(zhèn)上所有廚師忌妒對(duì)象的罪魁禍?zhǔn)住？墒且粓?chǎng)流行性瘟疫爆發(fā)了，人們怪安德烈在開胃菜中使用了特殊的酶，于是他不僅失去了他的主辦者執(zhí)照，而且還失去了所有的公正和聲望。這還只是第一個(gè)片斷而已。隨著數(shù)幾百萬(wàn)人被埋葬，一個(gè)影響整個(gè)世界的時(shí)代開始了。

  安德烈成了眾所周知的改變了地球的實(shí)體。他沒(méi)有權(quán)利在任何地方停留，他被追得到處流亡。每個(gè)國(guó)家都裝備了特種部隊(duì)捉拿他，要將他繩之以法。對(duì)他的追捕因此很快達(dá)到了極大的規(guī)模，相當(dāng)于一次對(duì)行巫者的搜捕。安德烈終于被抓住了。

  然而世界從來(lái)沒(méi)有考慮過(guò)這樣一個(gè)等式，那就是安德烈只不過(guò)是個(gè)偶爾造成幾百萬(wàn)人死亡的不起眼的好人。司法的平衡對(duì)他不利，他在全國(guó)電視上被判處死刑。大家都認(rèn)為這種懲罰是公正的。

  安德烈即將被處死之際全世界都倒抽了一口氣，因?yàn)楫?dāng)安德烈被問(wèn)及有什么遺言時(shí)他說(shuō)：“我有解藥!”沒(méi)有人能阻止瘟疫，突然之間，罪魁禍?zhǔn)淄瑫r(shí)也說(shuō)自己是救世主。

  安德烈從電椅上走下來(lái)說(shuō)：“你得吃主菜。”
