This one is probably as close to a real miracle as I will ever get. I was just messing around with the browning sauce, mixing it with sugar and whatever else was in the cupboard. None of my work was really turning out well. I was out of cigarettes, out of booze, depressed, and listening to Arvo Pärt's De Profundis. "To hell with it," I muttered, and smeared the final drops of the browning sauce on the tortilla.
I was about to toss it to the dog, when I stopped. An image...a shadowy, almost abstract image, looking up at me. I quickly tossed it in the pan, scorched it, and when I was done, the result was breathtaking. I shuddered, and held the filthy countertop to steady myself. I looked into the pan again, to be sure I wasn't dreaming. But this was no dream. It truly was Johnny Depp, as Captain Jack Sparrow.
