I Am Chocolate, Love Me (A Writing Experiment)

This is my submission for this writing exercise: October Writing Perspective Challenge: Write From the Point of View of Candy Consumed For Halloween

First I need to tell you reincarnation is real but it's a funny thing. I was a chocolate lover in my past life and now i'm reincarnated as a piece of chocolate. You know that phrase, "bite me?"I say that all the time now, though I guess it's meaning has changed.

There's one guy here in the factory who was diabetic in his last life. How weird is that to turn diabetic into chocolate? It's like my friend, Max, says, "Chocolate karma's gonna get you." I don't know what that means but Max has connections with other candies here and he can throw some wild parties. Like one time, we all got in this bowl of candies of all types, and let's just say, wrappers came off. But I digress.

So, yes, I'm a bar of chocolate. It's great because in my prior life I consumed much chocolate and now in a bit of poetic justice I will be consumed by someone else. My only hope is it will be by someone who truly appreciates me and not by some loser who forgets i'm in his pocket and leaves me to die a melted mess.

This week has been a little nerve wracking. They are getting us all ready to be shipped out to stores. I have been explaining this to some of our members who seemed confused and concerned. Too many have heard the horror stories and I remind them that this is not Easter. Some of the bad kids here will scare others by telling them about how at easter some people will bite the chocolate heads off of things and boy that just has to smart!
So I just remind them that this is Halloween, not Easter, and so they will die pleasing others and will probably not be decapitated. So that's good, right?

Stay tuned - I'll write up my further adventures as it gets closer to Halloween
