Beef For The Beef God
King Beef, Pepper Jack the Cheese Lord, the famous Pickle Quintet, Sir Ketchup, and Madam Mayo were all in attendance for the third annual BBQ Brawl. The renowned BBQ Brawl was implemented by the infamous King Wagyu and has been a staple in the Kingdom of Frigidaire since.
On this day, Beefs battle to see who will become the next Great Sacrifice to the Grill God. The Grill God wears a pristine white apron, a symbol of purity to the food groups in the Kingdom of Frigidaire. To be chosen for sacrifice to the Grill God is a sacred honor.
The Beefs battle each other one at a time in a bracket tournament to become the last Beef standing. No other ingredient apart from the Grand Burgers has a selection process like this. The Corns cower in fear, hoping to survive the evening grill. They sit in their drawer, waiting to be skewered and roasted on the Pit. The Hot Dogs and Sausage peasants pray to their false God to spare them. They are always roasted in bulk. Whole families burn on the pyre.
The Beefs are noble warriors. Death is an honor for them. They fight their beefy hearts out to meet their maker. Armed with toothpicks, the Beefs stab and prod their way to victory. On this glorious day, the Grill God requests six Beefs. It will be a feast amongst the Gods. The Beefs are ecstatic. Beaming amongst the Kingdom of Frigidaire, they begin their selection process. Despite the great feast, the tournament will be simple this year. 12 Beefs will go head to head in a six versus six brawl. The winning team will go on triumphant, to face the Grill with honor and courage.
The tournament commences, and the Beefs fight with every last meaty breath. Skewering and stabbing their way to a hard-fought victory. Once the six are selected, they are put upon a silver platter, to be bathed in the Seasonings of Eternal Afterlife. The rest of the Beefs watch in awe and slight horror as their brothers transcend to the Gods.
The Beefs know that if they are not selected, then they will die a slow death. They will be forgotten and will rot and spoil, unable to be used-never to fulfill their one true destiny.
