The Constant Dilemma

Everybody has been there at one time or another.  You’re sitting around, having just eaten your cupcake, or cookie, or muffin, and you’re vaguely satisfied but you wouldn’t mind another one.  You notice that the person next to you hasn’t eaten their cupcake/cookie/muffin but (especially if you don’t know the person) it’s a bit tacky to just ask for their dessert.  That’s as far as it’s ever gone for me, and yes, I have, on occasion, just asked for their dessert.  Kris, on the other hand, takes this in another direction.  He notices that the person he’s sitting next to hasn’t eaten his cupcake, but his instinct is to smash it.  Why?  He has no idea, but he has a hard time fighting back the urge.  What would the person do, what would the other people around him do?  It’s an impossible thought, but then again, why not?  This is a tiny mini, so there’s not much more to it than that, but I also appreciated the alternate ending on the back cover for anybody who wasn’t satisfied with the actual ending.  Um, assuming that this was in any way a true story.   Good stuff once again from Kris, and I’m sure he’s not the only person out there who can relate to wanting to smash a cupcake… $1
