A Story A Day. Story 193 of 365: Taste.

Imagine being born without the ability to taste. Hard right? That's what had happened to Dina. She had never been able to taste anything. If she had been able to know the flavors of things, she would have probably missed it. But to her everything was the same, she could eat anything without a flinch. Her mother saw the bright side of it quite quickly, as Dina would eat any kind of food she gave her, even vegetables and fish. However, that proved to have a downside too, as she would eat anything that had the right texture, even if it was not edible. At some point, Dina's mother tried to find a solution for her daughter's condition. But after consulting several doctors, she found out that her daughter's affection was genetic and incurable, so they would need to learn to live with it.

With time she started wondering what would savor be like, specially because she could see people around her enjoying food. She started thinking that maybe there could be some kind of machine that would allow her to know how things tasted, but no one had encountered her problem before. As she grew she saw that the only way to obtain it was if she did it herself. And she decided to study bio-enginery. When she was 32, she already owned her own company dedicated to make life easier for people like her, and she had long been able to know how food tasted like.
