Cheese and Chocolate

Cheese and Chocolate

A Story by Eleah Ruffin
"

This is something I wrote while studying for an exam. These thoughts were running through my mind so I wrote it down into a sort of story.

"

My dark chocolate accidentally got covered with some cheddar cheese.

 

I put my chocolate and my cheddar cheese flavored rice cakes in the same plastic bag as I left out of my room earlier in the day (I knew I’d be gone a while and wanted to be prepared so I didn’t have to spend money on snacks). I didn’t see the point in packing them in the same bag. I wanted to save the extras and save space in my backpack. 

 

I’m also just really lazy.

 

The cheddar cheese didn’t take away from the bittersweet, tangy sensation of the chocolate as it coated my tongue. However, I could still taste some of the cheesiness. It wasn’t horrible, but definitely not something I would go out of my way to try and combine. Come on, cheese and chocolate? Sounds awful.

 

Then again, everyone’s got weird habits and guilty pleasures. I’ve met quite a few people who put ketchup in their scrambled eggs. Some people find it normal. I never even heard of the concept until I got to college. I still think it’s weird. 

 

In my opinion, the eggs should be seasoned enough to where you don’t need condiments to make it better. But what do I know about cooking? To each his own.

 

My thoughts race on and on, my laptop staring back silently at me. I should be studying. I should be doing work, anything really. But anytime I start, my mind eventually wanders off into some hidden thought.

 

Reminding me of the things I need to do for tomorrow, people that have dropped out of my life like flies hitting an electric bug zapper, or my plans for the summer, which seems like a far distant land in the moment.

 

All of these thoughts and more flood my mind. Meanwhile my laptop sits on the cluttered table, bright and lonely, waiting to be acknowledged.

 

All on this dreary day.

I'm not dead (just very inactive)

Also I see all the read requests. I will try and get to them when I have the chance, though I am in the middle of my second semester at college so it may be a while longer.

I am also planning on removing some of my stories from here, mostly one or both of my novels. Looking back on them, as proud as I was of having finished them, they're not in any way good or where I'd like them to be. Eventually, I'm gonna rewrite them, but I'm starting one at a time.

Have a good one
