BTW, this story was actually loosely based on a real thing that happened to Adam. To quote the Reddit comment that he posted with this comic:
"I was indeed traveling through Japan for my birthday several years back, and I did, in fact, find a delicious little ramen place tucked away down a rainy alley. It was so good that I went back multiple days in a row but eventually made myself sick one night. I’m not sure what the deal was—guess my body had just had enough. I spent the night in my hotel room violently ill with a fever, and that night I had a nightmare about being cooked in a soup. And if you think I didn’t go back to that ramen place again, you’re wrong. I went again the next day when I felt better."
This is one of my favorite horror stories from Adam, and it comes from his book, 'Bad Dreams In The Night', which you can check out wherever you get your books!
