When Kosher Kills

Step into a dimly lit space where time seems suspended, folding back upon itself. Before you, an endlessly recurring tableau: a table laid with offerings blessed under an ancient seal. Challah gleams, meats glisten, yet an unnatural frost coats every surface—a harsh, crystalline defense, shimmering under the spectral light. It’s a beauty that bites back, a purity made unbearable, ensuring no lip ever tastes, no hand ever reaches.
Beneath this stark, salty barrier, a deeper shadow coils, an unseen corruption blooming within the hallowed food. Why this elaborate, bitter preservation? Is it the chilling echo of a bully’s fear, manifesting as a feast no one can stomach? Or perhaps the shattering of the lowest rung of a ladder, leading to systemic demise?
