Butter and Marmalade

Each day, Robert Pennyworth sat down to a breakfast of toast with butter and marmalade. The butter had to be laid on thick—so thick that it could be seen through the marmalade, which had to be orange or...well, there had never been a scarcity of orange marmalade at the Pennyworth home. When he looked in the cupboard, there was none left. He searched everywhere. Why did he have raspberry preserves, peanut butter, and chocolate spread? He’d never diverge from his daily ritual. Robert Pennyworth stood in front of the cupboard for a long time, and eventually fell into a coma.
