  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.

  安德烈曾經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，是他成為上層社會的一員并獲得相應權利的重要原因，同時也是他成為鎮上所有廚師忌妒對象的罪魁禍首。可是一場流行性瘟疫爆發了，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照，而且還失去了所有的公正和聲望。這還只是第一個片斷而已。隨著數幾百萬人被埋葬，一個影響整個世界的時代開始了。

  安德烈成了眾所周知的改變了地球的實體。他沒有權利在任何地方停留，他被追得到處流亡。每個國家都裝備了特種部隊捉拿他，要將他繩之以法。對他的追捕因此很快達到了極大的規模，相當于一次對行巫者的搜捕。安德烈終于被抓住了。

  然而世界從來沒有考慮過這樣一個等式，那就是安德烈只不過是個偶爾造成幾百萬人死亡的不起眼的好人。司法的平衡對他不利，他在全國電視上被判處死刑。大家都認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，因為當安德烈被問及有什么遺言時他說：“我有解藥!”沒有人能阻止瘟疫，突然之間，罪魁禍首同時也說自己是救世主。

  安德烈從電椅上走下來說：“你得吃主菜。”
