#FF — Melting

FF 092023 kid-in-a-candy-storePHOTO PROMPT © Roger Bultot

When I first met Harold, he was a Mars Bar and I resembled Baby Ruth.

I will walk, run, kayak, bicycle, and crunch beside you,” Harold promised. And he did.

Soon I was a streamlined Butterfinger.

Harold handed me a brochure about an unwrapped convention in Sardinia.

Don’t you want to show off that beautiful new body of yours?” he asked.

We melted on Sardinia’s pristine beach, eyes closed, our slick bodies gleaming.

Howdy do, neighbors.”

Looking up, Harold and I saw KitKat and Twix.

Later, in their suite, we rolled in a bowl-shaped bed as if it were Halloween.

      LOL. What’s your favorite chocolate bar?

      1. Duplo crisp sticks. The company that makes them also makes Nutella, the chocolate spread I grew up with. I still think it’s yummy, also as an ingredient, but it’s very sweet. Nowadays I can only tolerate limited amounts of sweetness at a time, at least when it comes to nutrition!😀

          Haven’t tried those but have had Nutella. I bought it and put it on graham crackers but had to stop doing that. It’s like food crack!
