This is my entry for the weekly Zapfic Friday contest. The goal is to write as complete a story as possible with the given prompt in precisely 50 words. This week's prompt is "chocolate."
Confession: this one is actually a true story. Eep. I could subtitle it: "How I learned to be less greedy." Ha ha. You will see what I mean.
Oops... That is Not Chocolate.
I was only three years old. The plate of chocolate morsels was placed tantalizingly close.
I reached out and quickly popped one into my mouth only to have a horrible shock.
"Did she just eat a piece of raw liver?" my mother asked her friend as I began to cry.
