The Hunt

It happens to us all. One day it happened to him. Sitting alone on his sofa, enjoying the weather, sipping a glass of cold coffee and curled up with a book, the idea jumped up and bit him like a sly snake in the grasses. Like venom which slowly passes through the system taking over the body, this idea had been planted, and now no matter what he tried, he could not shake it.

The thought of this need now firmly in his mind, he decided to act on it. It was time to proactively go out and begin the hunt. This was a mission, and he would call on all his abilities to see it through to the fabulous end. It was a unique task, no doubt, but something he did not see as beyond his grasp.

After a few weeks of trying the usual hangouts, he was getting frustrated. The task at hand, hadn't seemed as complicated at first. Yet, with every passing day, it seemed to get ever more daunting. He had been to all the usual places, and there was not a trace of what he was looking for. He even began to try visiting newer places, but still came up empty handed. Its been nearly 2 months since that day, and he is still unsuccessful in his bid.

Even now, however, he has not given up and the hunt continues. So, if anyone happens to know where in the bay area he can get his hands on some baby corn, do drop him a note.
