The room was almost throbbing with tension as I looked up towards the judge’s chair.
My fate rests in his hands, I thought to myself as the judge sat contemplating the verdict. The stakes could not have been higher.
Finally, the judge lifted his pen, and wrote something. My fate was now sealed, irrevocably.
The judge now lifted the page, and started reading, “After much deliberation, and careful inspection, I have arrived at the conclusion, that the winner of MasterChef Olympus is… Zeus, for his culinary masterpiece, The Deconstructed Rainbow!”
I finally let out a breath.
