He scooped it up. The fork was warm. Memory poured in—women who’d tasted liberation in buttercream, a recipe stitched from stolen lullabies, a kitchen where utensils whispered. Biggs shoved the fork in his mouth out of reflex. Images crowded him: a childhood he never had, a bakery that smelled like thunder, the moment a baker traded a secret for immortality.
“You’re the CannibalCupcake?” he asked, because names in graffiti tags and black-market forums had taught him not to be casual.
Here’s a short, quirky feature concept titled "CannibalCupcake and MrBiggs — Link" (flash fiction + logline + a hook for expansion).
Flash (scene — ~300 words) The alley smelled of espresso and late rain; neon from the deli sign painted the puddles a cheap magenta. MrBiggs checked his satchel—parcels, a battered bike lock, three energy gels—and hesitated at the glow seeping from the bakery’s cracked door. Inside, under a single dangling bulb, a cupcake sat on a paper doily, frosting unnaturally glossy, eyes like twin poppy seeds tracking his step.
Biggs blinked, more in habit than surprise. Deliveries in this part of town used to be predictable: tips, insults, the occasional dog. A talking pastry was an upgrade.
“You’re late,” it said. The voice was buttery, with a crumbly chuckle.
