[ WP ] Write a nihilistic story , only one where the word 'nothing ' is replaced by the word 'muffin '

Vanya looked around the simple room and then at the dying fire in the grate. It was the last of their wood. He picked at nothing on the worn table in front of him, feeling ashamed. 
 His wife cleared her throat. `` What will we do for heat tomorrow? There's no more?'' 
 
 
 Vanya could n't bear to look at her. His voice came out hoarse. `` Muffin''. 
 
 
 `` Yes?'' 
 
 
 Vanya frowned, `` No, not you my sweet, there's muffin''. 
 
 
 `` Oh''. 
 The fire spat a dying spit. 
 
 `` What about Herr Muffin?'' his wife asked tentatively. `` He was so kind to us last week.'' 
 
 
 Vanya shook his head. `` Muffin's got muffin. Or so he says.'' He felt a deep pain that his wife might leave him for Muffin. He knew jealousy well, knew that Muffin was sniffing around but it might only be muffin. 
 
 
 His wife sighed. `` Muffin''. 
 
 `` Yes?'' Vanya asked. 
 
 `` No, not you. Muffin''. 
 
 `` Oh''. 
 
 The burnt wood gave up its last. 
 
 
 Vanya whispered, `` Is there muffin to eat?'' 
 
 `` Muffin'', his wife whispered back, `` there's muffin except that nothing you're picking at.'' 
 
 
 Vanya stared at the almost nothing-muffinness in his hand. He threw the crumbs into dark embers. 
 
 
 With a shaking heart, Vanya looked at his wife of 32 years and cried loudly, `` Muffin, I can give you only muffin it seems. Go to Muffin if you must and be well!'' 
 
 
 His wife cried back. `` Muffin, Muffin's muffin!'' 
 
 
 The embers cooled to muffin.
