THE AMBIVALENT APPETITE

Written and Illustrated by Anthony Schmiedeler

BEWARE and WARNING! This app is different from other apps.

It’s a decision-making app but you don’t have to use YOUR brain to make the decision. The people you specifically choose get to make the decision FOR YOU based on your GOALS. All you have to do is tell them who you are and what you need then send it away to get back all the answers you’ve ever wanted. No more frustration and no more regret because the decision no longer rests on your shoulders.

In this story, you are a tired college student home from a long day at school. You’re exhausted and your brain can’t handle another second of work You forgot to bring your lunch to school and now your stomach is making noises you didn’t know a human body could produce. But what do you eat? There are far too many options to pick just one and your are mentally incapable of trying to analyze the best fit for the situation. Didn’t you hear about a new app for this exact scenario.....?

1 There goes that sound again. Is that coming from your stomach? It seems like it’s echoing off the walls... You really hope your roommates aren’t home to hear this.

You run to the fridge. All you see are colors and shapes. Everything smells delicious. You spin around a open the pantry and it just gets worse.

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

HOW ARE YOU EVER GOING TO DECIDE WHAT YOU SHOULD EAT? Wait a second, didn’t you hear about a new app today? You think it was called “sayso”. You look it up and download it from the app store as you sit and stew in your misery. Guess it couldn’t hurt to sign up.
