Just a coffee. That’s what I told myself upon entering The Second Cup. I was hungry. I knew this unplanned stop was a mistake. My eyes were immediately drawn to the dessert counter. Moist carrot cake loaded with fluffy cream cheese icing, dark rich chocolate cake, huge cake-like muffins topped with nuts and fruit, and sweet sumptuous squares were calling my name. “Carol, pick me!”
Maybe the fat-free, sugar-free pumpkin latte would satisfy my craving. No such luck. They were sold out.
I had to ask. “Do you have any healthy options?”
Stupid question. I settled for a regular coffee.

That was fun. 🙂

What a great idea. Good way to spend a journey, crafting 100 word stories. Along with photos/illustrations you could use them as cards, too for friends and family. Really personal. Have just finished writing a 500 word play for a competition. First time I’ve attempted that, and just as well I discovered that character names weren’t counted or I’d have been around 80 words short.
