Fortune Cookie
June 7, 2013
It lays there
Gently resting on my palm
The cookie glistens
With a trace of an evil grin
It waits patiently
Unaware of the calamity
It is causing inside me
But only enjoying the attention
It sits quite innocently
As if it is just a sweet treat
But no, it holds something more sinister
The future
My stomach churns
As I look at the
Crisp folds of the
Golden-brown cookie
What will it reveal?
A dreadful prediction?
A terrible fate?
An awful destiny?
Well… here it goes
I grip the cookie
And pull hard
Crack! It is empty
