Salty…

October 27, 2025 by Morgan Delaney

A man shows two thumbs up and says "Thick and Sludgy" with a big, happy gin.

I knew I was special while still a child.

Eating spoonfuls of Marmite is probably what gave it away.

Do you know Marmite?

Australians have a similar thing called Vegemite, if that helps?

Okay, look. Imagine soya sauce.

Now imagine someone dumped enough yeast into soya sauce to make it thick and sludgy – mmm, thick and sludgy!

That’s Marmite.

Don’t get me wrong, I ate other things as a child.

Cheese sandwiches.

Tomato sandwiches.

Er, cheese and tomato sandwiches.

But those were meals.

If I wanted a snack, I grabbed my trusty spoon and dipped it into the Marmite.

Pull out a thick, sludgy glob and start licking like it was a lollipop for naughty children specially designed by Willy Wonka.

Despite the ridiculous amount of salt burning my mouth.

Like I said, special.

Still, I enjoyed it, though many people wouldn’t.

What I’m trying to say is that today’s flash fiction story video might be considered a spoonful of Marmite.

Some people will enjoy it.

Some won’t.

But it made me laugh, so here you go.

It’s well known that in a threesome, someone always gets hurt.

Watch “Already Decided” on YouTube here to learn why!

Chat soon,
