[ WP ] One morning as you reach for a spoon to eat your cereal , you notice a strange spoon that you have never seen before . Soon you realise the power this spoon holds .

The scream of the alarm clock was a suitable accompaniment to the lethargy the man felt as he got out of bed in the morning. Every time he cracked one eye to see neon red numbers shining through fog he woke up in, there was a moment of intense dread as he realized that there was another full day to endure. 
 He rolled over, checking to see if his wife was occupying the side of the bed that habit had made hers. Instead, only saw an indent in the place that her aging body would normally be. She had never been beautiful to him, and like all things in his life was a mild disappointment. 
 
 
 The mild surprise he felt did not quite register in his grogginess, and he made to throw off the covers. He got up with the same slow defeat that he had spent the last ten years of his life in. It was not graceful, but arthritic and tired. 
 
 
 The man walked downstairs into the kitchen, and saw his wife facing away from him. He sat in his seat at the table, and stared at the plate of under-cooked french toast in front of him. He noted with mild irritation that she had not set out a spoon and knife for him. His grumble was interrupted by a gasp from his wife. He assumed initially that it was just her emphysema wishing him a good morning, but quickly realized that something was very wrong. 
 
 
 She turned to face him, her shocked expression giving the metal object in her hands significance. Nonplussed, he took the pronged object from her hands and observed it. It was almost like a spoon, but for some reason looked like a pitch fork. He had never seen anything like it. 
 
 
 Curious, he pressed the sharp end into his french toast and as he picked up the food easily, realized the significance of that moment. He had suddenly changed from mediocre to one of those rare men who had discovered the solution to one of humanity's needs. This strange spoon would change things. 
 
 It had the power to change his life.
