A New Zealand couple was on vacation in the German Black Forest. The Maori man and the Filipino woman had been married for eleven months, but due to work reasons they could not conceive their honeymoon as they should, so they decided to settle in a cozy little town in the interior of Germany of which they hardly knew its name, in fact, they only knew of its existence thanks to the tourist guide assigned to them by a well-known travel agency.
Jason thought that this town certainly looked like something out of the fairy tales that his wife, Olivia, used to dream about since she was a little girl growing up in an austere Philippine neighborhood in Auckland. And rightly so, Olivia was in awe of that little German town, it was like a dreamy place that she always thought it could only exist in her head. Olivia was a die-hard fan of German mythology and basically that place was full of reminiscences of barbaric civilizations.
"This village is wonderful my love, it's such a pity it's almost dark,” Olivia said with great enthusiasm.
"Yes my dear, but we should go get something to eat ‘cause I'm honestly starving!” Jason replied with such a bright smile on his face, so much that Olivia thought that it could actually light up an entire city, at that very moment she realized that after so much time without seeing him, she was finally falling in love with her husband again. Perhaps that trip rekindled the flame that for a few moments of loneliness she simply thought that had long since been extinguished. Olivia walked up to Jason's cheek and kissed him passionately as if it was the last day of their lives. Jason felt his unaccustomed heart racing in a way that he had already forgotten over time, at that moment he also realized how much he loved his wife.
"You're right honey, it's about time we taste German cuisine!" Olivia replied with a flushed face because of the strong emotions she felt at that moment.
"You don't know how beautiful you look when you blush, I’m so mad about you Olivia!" Jason exclaimed as he held his wife's hand.
It was already night, the hot couple was walking through the lush and cold forest while talking for hours without even noticing the cold temperature, they were so focused on their love that they didn't even seem to notice when they arrived at a restaurant that was hovering in the middle of the forest, Olivia certainly loved how that place was shrouded by the mystical night mist.
Jason took Olivia by the hand to that establishment that seemed to be open at such late hours of the night. Upon entering the restaurant, they noticed that no one was there, however, after a couple of seconds, a large redheaded man appeared who they assumed was a bartender or something like that, soon the man approached them without saying a single word and the couple began to feel a little disconcerted when they noticed a pot of hot coals that he was holding with both hands without any sign of them getting burned by it.
"Can you give us the menu?” Jason asked nervously as Olivia squeezed his hand tightly.
"You are tonight's menu," the man replied as two people tied the now scared Jason and Olivia together in what appeared to be some kind of sinister abduction.
