In this slow, grim journey through 14th-century Delhi, you—barefoot, sunburnt, and starving—make the worst possible decision: trusting the street food. What begins as curiosity and hunger soon spirals into a full-body betrayal. From open sewers and reused oil to explosive regret and final delusion, this is a historical descent into microbial madness.


Narrated in a calm, softly spoken tone, this immersive second-person story blends grotesque sensory detail with dry, sarcastic humor. It's not exotic—it’s septic. And you won’t survive it.
