last of the lindt ah, holidays at the office. lindt chocolate hovered near the edge of the free-for-all table.

it's a sign.

"i'm taking the last of this!" i announced, and walked away. everyone snapped awake and stopped what they were doing.

"all of it?"

"there's two inches left!"

"uh ha! one for you, another for me."

"no!"

i popped the chocolate into my mouth. almonds and creamy milk chocolate. mmm. thank heaven and earth for colonialism, slavery, indentured service, capitalism, and the evolution of cocoa and sugar. gone, all too soon, but perpetuated and perfected as evidenced in this rich alpenvollmilch-nuss bar, 300 grams.

covered by the golden aluminum foil are six more squares, about 1.5 by three inches of chocolate and almonds. oops. ahahahaha. after that grand announcement, i can't share the chocolate now. i am so in trouble. tomorrow i need to bring back a bar of my own.   ¶ 12/27/2004 05:42:00 PM
