death by chocolate



(here's one of the first of the series of mini-stories that I have to share...)

one day, this girl I know had decided to drown herself in sorrow by overfeeding on chocolates. She had had enough. It hasn't been the same way for her. She was doing alright before this shit happened. She thought everything was going smoothly-- exactly as planned. Yet, she was unprepared for this. Suddenly, everything became shitty. Her work is shitty. Her friends are shitty, her boyfriend is shitty. Her life has turned shitty! It seemed everything is going downhill for her. She was an unwilling participant to this episode, this drama. Call it a game even. This couldn't be right. She never dreamed of becoming a victim to such excruciating emotions. It was almost an agony. Ever the cautious girl, she grew up thinking she's immune to disappointments. To failure. To pain. What good is pain anyway? Does it solve anything? Will it change things? What is there to look forward to? Yet, unmistakably it happened to her. She couldn't stand it any longer. It's impossible! It's not right. It doesn't feel right! The taste of chocolate would make her forget her woes. Besides, it wouldn't cause her pain. But what was she thinking? That chocolate can somehow redeem her from sorrow? Will it bring happiness back into her life?
Nothing tastes better than chocolate... you be the judge.
