My greatest nightmare has come true
Lithi Leafleaf: Today, after watching cartoons as I am wont to do...
Lithi Leafleaf: I went on a jaunt
Lithi Leafleaf: to visit my Grandmother....
Lithi Leafleaf: The walk over was quite uneventful and pleasant
Lithi Leafleaf: a nice summer breeze and such.
Lithi Leafleaf: When I got to my Grammy's for tea, she WARNED ME!
Lithi Leafleaf: SHE WARNED ME!
Lithi Leafleaf: She said "Spencer, you can't walk all the way to the grocery store"
Lithi Leafleaf: I chuckled at her worry...
Lithi Leafleaf: For I am a MAN
Lithi Leafleaf: And a Man may walk where he pleases, may he not?
Lithi Leafleaf: Tea was had, with gingersnaps and cake.....
Lithi Leafleaf: And eventually I was off once more....
Lithi Leafleaf: The afternoon had grown hotter than before....
Lithi Leafleaf: And the road to the store was a great deal more perplexing than the simple path to grandmother's house...
Lithi Leafleaf: But I walked on, giving it little thought....
Lithi Leafleaf: After many corners and crosswalks, the store came in site....
Lithi Leafleaf: "This shall be a delightful adventure in consumerism" I fancied, marching in brandishing my backpack, as a peacock does his tailfeathers.
Lithi Leafleaf: And I was beset by decisions....
Lithi Leafleaf: white or chocolate cake? (I chose marble) Did I fancy a drink with dinner? (I felt I did, and picked up some Mai-tai mix) Pudding or fruit to fill? (Pudding!)
Lithi Leafleaf: When at last I had gathered the sweet potato which I had sought most of all....
Lithi Leafleaf: I was ready to make exit...
Lithi Leafleaf: However, just before completeing my transactions, I also grabbed a bottle of iced green tea....
Lithi Leafleaf: I was wary of dehydration on my way home.
Lithi Leafleaf: I left in very high spirits.....
Lithi Leafleaf: Perhaps it was hubris, that blinded me to the impossible tragedy that fate had laid for me...
Lithi Leafleaf: For you see as I neared the final stretch of my walk home
Lithi Leafleaf: My head quite full of thoughts of dinner...
Lithi Leafleaf: Something unimaginable happened.
Lithi Leafleaf: The thoughts of dinner were banished from my mind.
Lithi Leafleaf: MY APPETETITE HAD COMPLETELY VANISHED.
Seigneur Ruei: O.O..no..
Lithi Leafleaf: I was quite demolished myself.
Lithi Leafleaf: AND A FINAL TWIST OF THE KNIFE...
Lithi Leafleaf: When I got home
Lithi Leafleaf: I FOUND THE ICED TEA I HAD PURCHASED WAS DIET...
