36. M&Ms candy
The sweet smell of sugar seems to call me in the
evenings. The lure of its deliciousness is hard to resist.
When the temptation is too much to handle, I tip-toe into
the kitchen, past the judgmental eyes of the photos
hanging on the wall, and over the cracking sounds of the
hardwood floors. The sight of those beautifully-rounded
treats only increases the pounding of my heart and
salivating in my mouth. “M” means mine; all mine! The
taste of its succulent, melting goodness on my tongue
causes all my senses to celebrate. Mmm & Mmm good!
