They flew past above them. Everyone ran because their leaders told them to run. She saw it coming, from the stench of the rivers and thickening of the air. Piles of chocolate bars filled her room, making her parents wonder whether she had lost another boyfriend. “One chocolate a day, will keep fear away,” she assured herself. All she could do was to ration her supplies until when the stars would forget they were horoscopes.

An interesting piece, Teddy. Hope her horoscope stays with the stars. And I must be very frightened by the amount of chocolate I eat.

I hope the horoscopes heed to her heart's cries too. Hehe. I'm a chocolate junkie too, but on rehab with hot cups of chocolate ;) Thanks for reading and enjoying my work, Sue. Comments are closed.
