Once there was a ham sandwich named Hammy Manase Junior III. Hammy had hands and legs, but no hair. He wore glasses from a young age. Hammy was 5'6" tall. He wore blue pants and a white shirt.

Years ago, a scientist was trying some things. He thought he succeeded in testing meatballs to create minions but actually, some other food came alive and a ham sandwich started acting like a human. This was Hamsalot Doritos Ketchup.
Hamsalot ate a pickle because he was hungry, and then grew to the size of a tree. The scientist decided to create more living food and food families because he wanted to make some new species. He created Hammy Mannase Junior III’s mom and dad, and Hammy as well.

Young Hammy lived in the countryside with just a few other food families. He wasn't really close to anyone else. He always wanted to be friends with humans when he was younger, but his parents didn't allow him to because humans were scary because they were different. Hammy, however, saw them as fun and nice; unique. Hammy didn't see them as different from him. He saw them act exactly as he did (at least some of them). They were funny, they communicated, they had the same schedule as him. He recognized a lot of himself in them, and so he thought he was similar to humans.
Hammy noticed these things about humans by observing a human kid. He saw the kid playing and thought it was cool. He tried talking to the kid, but the kid ran away screaming. Hammy wondered why.
As a teenager, Hammy lived like a normal person. In his free time, he tried to volunteer in programs to get closer to humans.

One day, he went to the mall to make friends. He tried to act human by saying hi to people. But people were terrified of him and ran away because that's not normal.
Hammy then gladly DEVOURED the people. Well, he didn't really devour them, because then he spit them out, covered in mayonnaise and sauce. Still, the people were traumatized....
"No more Mr. Nice Guy!" said Hammy. He walked towards them. The people were yelling and trying to escape. Hammy ran towards them.
Hammy grabbed four of the people to put on Mount Everest because they didn't want to be his friend. He walked there (it took 30 minutes) and threw them on the top.
It was a stormy day and the four people were all wet and cold on the top of Mount Everest. Hammy was getting all wet and soggy, and he was falling apart. The bread, the mayo, the meat were all falling off.
People in a helicopter that was passing by the mountain saw two of the people screaming while the other two were getting chewed by Hammy.
The four people were VERY injured and were sent to the hospital immediately after they were found. Hammy realized he could have hurt people. He decided to take the people home with him. He took care of them because they were sick from being on Mount Everest.
Sometime, one afternoon, Hammy went to get the humans some chicken noodle soup. When he went to give them their soup, they were gone! He tried to find them everywhere; he thought maybe they were playing hide-and-seek. He couldn’t find them, so he knew they had been kidnapped!
Hammy looked around the house (even in the basement) and inside the nearby buildings, including the fast food place.
Maybe they are eating something? he thought. But they weren’t there. The mysterious villain must have put them somewhere!
When he couldn’t find them anywhere, Hammy went back into the house.

Meanwhile, the four humans were in an underground base. They knew too much: they had learned the secret formula of how Hammy and all the other living food was made. They had once visited the lab where Hammy was made (Area 16) and learned the process.
Hamburger. He had kidnapped them. He didn’t want anyone to make any more living food. He knew it would be rotten.
---
Since Hammy was so interested in humans, he had also gotten a good sense of what they smelled like. He realized he could track the humans to where they were hidden! After he found the people and released them, he noticed the villain.
“Hamburger, we meet again!” said Hammy.
COMING SOON: PART TWO! It’s a battle between Hammy and Hamburger. Will the past be told? Secrets will be revealed. Who will win?
