I doubt she would mind. I would certainly like to see more!

Thanks Melanie,

I was just joking as the 500 word challenge was a great idea and I came in exactly at 500 words. I might go back and change a word or two; being the obsessive author that I am. Thank you for starting this fun thread. Can we do more?

Thanks,

Phil

Sharon, did you get a chance to read my candy story? I promise it isn't too explicit, but you might crave chocolate afterward.

I want you all to know I've been visiting the candy store and enjoying it. It's not fattening!

Raymond, it definitely had a hint of "been there, done that".

lol, I know the one I wrote was only true in the sense that the candy I used was sitting right in front of me. So I had good inspiration. Maybe we all have a bit of truth in ours.

Melanie & Mountainmama,

Suspiciously like real life, hmm? That was 90% fiction and 10% true to life. Somewhere in that neighborhood. ;-)

LOL! She is a snob here isn't she!? No one likes to be picked last! I always feel sorry for the last little piece of candy left in the bowl at work, so I'm always the one to take the piece no one wants. hahahaha

Here's MINE!:

Here I sit, tightly wrapped in the shiniest of carefully cut, crinkling foil, and yet I'm still so lonely. Miniature nougats of premium chocolate, red and wiped striped mints, and even the tiniest boxes of nerds, all chosen before me. Surely they were saving the best for last. I could feel their hands when they hovered over my fishbowl like home, my sticky sweetness expanding ever so slightly as to make myself stand out even more.

"PICK ME, PICK ME!" Is what I wanted to shout, but at last, I have no voice.

What it would feel like to have nimble little fingers scrambling to loosen the binding that now hides my innermost sweetness. Perfect lips -that I've only heard stories about from other's that have been not so luckily discarded back into the bowl-, so soft and yet still so firm.... Ugh...I would probably squirt all of my gooey deliciousness on the first lick, my secret caramel filling gone before pleasure has had time to set in. The thrill that both of us would get, them from just inhaling the scent of my powdery goodness, me from finally being able to experience what it feels like to have my sugar coated, hardened outer core suddenly plunged into warm wetness.

O...how it would feel to have the almost non existent scrape of a thousand taste buds torturing the imperfect cracks in my chocolate outer shell - licking and suckling over them until they crumbled into one huge gooey mass of hot, sweet, sticky indulgence. It would be all I could do not to explode like the pink pop rocks made for little girls, the excitement of their pleasure given away at the first sign of wetness.

I am not some factory packaged treat made for the masses. I am perfection -made of the finest sugars, and highest quality chocolate-. I am Lady Godiva. How I ended up in this trailer park of a candy bowl is unknown to me, but here I sit.

Waiting...waiting...patiently...

Pick me! I won't disappoint.

Raymond, great story. Although that sounds suspiciously like real life!!

Posted on May 24, 2011 7:40:50 AM PDT
Phillip, you can go back and edit your post if you like. People apparently want those longer lasting candies.

Oh Raymond, that story is so sweet! Peanut butter cups and a little blue plus sign. Aww...*^^*

My wife called me at work and left a message to call her back immediately. She never calls me at work - so I may have panicked just a little and fat-fingered the numbers the first time.

I re-dialed and she picked up. "I need you to pick up some Reese's Peanut Butter Cups on the way home" she blurted. "Hello to you as well my love" I replied - a little put off by the lack of even simple phone etiquette. "I have no time for hello" she continued - "it is a matter of life and death. My craving or your death."

Those terms seemed to clarify the matter for me a great deal for some reason.

"Yes ma'am" I said with a sarcastic tone. In my head. Out loud I simply replied "of course - no problem". I did want to live to see another day after all.

As I drove home with the fresh purchases of chocolaty goodness I could not help but think back to the last time a request such as this one had been thrust upon me. That day a few years ago was easy enough to remember - it ended with a little blue plus sign on a little white stick. The joyous bundle that followed eight months later still lights up my life every day. All from a simple peanut butter cup. Life can truly be so sweet.

<<Melanie, I demand (in the most polite way) that you let this man finish his story. How will I ever get to sleep this morning if I don't find out what happened? Everyone knows my sleep schedule is messed up enough as it is! >>

Okay, okay! The word amount can be higher than 500 words.:) I'm glad to see the thread took off so well.

There, it's now 1,000 words or less on the front page.^^

Goran, if you can come up with something like that off the top of your head, I can't imagine what you create when you're thinking about it! I believe that's what separates successful writers from the rest of us - sheer creativity!!
