3-Minute Sci-Fi: How to Sell a Hot Sandwich Maker on note! (Hot Sandwich Planet)

Pale morning light softly illuminated the hills beyond the window.
I slowly got out of bed and headed to the kitchen.
Is this still my home... I wonder?
Outside the window, I could catch glimpses of towers with shapes I had never seen before and mysterious ships floating in the sky.

Today's breakfast is a hot sandwich.
Just a simple hot sandwich with cheese and ham inside. Yet, I feel as though all my adventures are packed into this small square.

As I cut the cheese and bread with a rhythmic sound, I heard a small voice from the other side.

"Good morning, you're ready, aren't you!?"

When I looked, a small creature that looked like it had jumped out of a fable was standing in the corner of the kitchen. A long green hair sprouted from the top of its head, and its eyes were round, shining like the brilliance of a diamond due to the refraction and dispersion of light from their high refractive index.
"Um... who are you? Are you a fairy?" I asked.

"My name is Perle. I was drawn here by the aroma of your hot sandwich."

Feeling puzzled, I placed the buttered bread into the hot sandwich maker. Then, Perle hopped over and jumped onto the side of the hot sandwich maker.

"Hey, did you know? Hot sandwiches transcend time."

I couldn't help but laugh.

"Transcend time...? I don't know about that, and I can't believe it. You're joking, right?"

However, Perle's eyes were completely serious, and I felt as if the air were trembling slightly.

The bread sizzled inside the hot sandwich maker.

Then, a savory aroma filled the room, and the scenery outside the window wavered slightly.

Beyond the window, like a mirror, another world appeared.

"This is..." I gasped.

"The hot sandwich in the making is connecting two times," Perle whispered.

When I opened the lid of the hot sandwich maker, the bread was glowing golden, and the cheese inside was melting smoothly.

The moment my hand touched the bread, the world slowly rotated, and in the next instant, I was standing on a hill.

"Where... am I?"
Spreading out before me was a sky that looked like outer space.

Each star was shining in a small shape like a hot sandwich.
Inside them, cheese flowed smoothly, and ham and vegetables shone vividly.
"A planet of hot sandwiches...?" I muttered to myself.

Perle laughed.

"Yes, this is the 'Sandla Star System.' It is a world where the thoughts of those who make hot sandwiches take shape."

Each star is filled with people's little dreams and wishes.
As I walked, I thought: to think that such a vast universe was spreading out within my small breakfast.

"But why my hot sandwiches?" I asked.
Perle shrugged.

"That's just a coincidence. But sometimes, hot sandwiches have the power to transcend time and space."

As I walked among the stars, a black shadow suddenly approached.
"Who... are you?" I blurted out.

"I am Negativetion. I am the embodiment of people's anxieties and sorrows."
Negativetion looked like a dark cloud, and just looking at it made my chest feel heavy.
"Your hot sandwiches have brought light to our world, so I came to see what form they take."

Perle took my hand.
"Don't be afraid. Your hot sandwiches have the power to resist negativity."

I took a deep breath and gripped the golden, butter-shining hot sandwich.
In that moment, Negativetion's shadow melted away, and the surrounding stars began to shine all at once.

I smiled. I had witnessed the moment the world changed because of my little breakfast.

"Shall we head back now?" Perle said.
I nodded, put my hands together, and looked at the hot sandwich once more.
The savory aroma brought me back to my real-life kitchen.

When I came to, I was back in my usual morning. Inside the hot sandwich maker, a warm hot sandwich remained.

I picked up the hot sandwich and took a bite.
The scent of cheese and the sweetness of ham spread through my mouth.

Beyond the window, the sun was slowly rising, softly illuminating the world.

Thank you for reading this far.
I couldn't imagine any hot sandwich other than ham and cheese.
