    In the small town of Millbrook, there was a young boy named Timmy who had an unusual craving. Unlike other kids who loved chocolates or candies, Timmy was fascinated by burgers. Not just any burgers, but the infamous "Poisonous Burgers" from Old Joe's Diner.

    These burgers were named so because of their dangerously spicy sauce, which could leave a person writhing in discomfort. Despite being warned by his parents, Timmy's love for the "Poisonous Burgers" only grew stronger.

    He would save his pocket money and sneak out to Old Joe's Diner every other day. The sight of the flaming red sauce, the aroma of the grilled patty, and the crunch of the lettuce were irresistible to him.

    However, one day, Timmy ate more than his little body could handle. He felt a sharp, agonizing pain in his stomach and was rushed to the hospital. The doctors were bewildered by the extent of damage from the burgers.

    Upon hearing the news, Old Joe himself came to visit Timmy. He felt a pang of guilt seeing the little boy suffer due to his creation. From that day, he vowed never to serve the "Poisonous Burger" again.

    He was operated on, but it was too late. His little body couldn't fight the toxins any longer. Timmy passed away, leaving behind a grieving family and a town in shock.
