Is this a good prologue to my science fiction novel: "The Blue Arugula Pie" ?
Icarus sat down at the dinner table with a spork. He was hungry. As his wife Gertrude preheated the oven, Icarus realized that they had not fetched fresh arugula for the blue pie. He immediately began panicking, for he really enjoyed the flaky pie and Gertrude was very gifted at baking. As he opened the door to run to the market, a giant ogre stood in his way. The ogre looked down at him, snarling. "ME HUNGEE", he screamed. Gertrude fainted and Icarus' heart began racing. What to do, what to do! "I WILL RUN TO THE MARKET TO FETCH YOU SOME GOUDA" he bellowed. The orgre looked angrier than ever "ME LACTOSE INTOLERANT. ME WANT LO MEIN". Icarus knew that would be quite a stretch, but he was willing to accept the challeng. He sat the giant ogre down on a comfy chair and turned on the sports channel. The ogre put his feet up on the nearby ottoman. "I will fix you up a cold gl of cow juice". "NOOO", roared the ogre, "ME LACTOSE INTOLERANT! WHAT NO YOU UNDASTAND?!" "Oh, I'm terribly sorry, sir, I will get you some chicken on a corn cob. Would you like that?", said Icarus bashfully. "YES, HUWEEE". Icarus compiled the tasty morsel and put it on a decorative plate. He gave it to the ogre and went on his way to go find the ingredients necessary to make lo mein.
