Reflection Ruesday
Yall I found this from 2016. I have no idea what it is. Probably someone challenged me to write this and I did. Idk it is...so stupid and distinctively me and I need you to see it now that I polished it
Welcome to the War of the Pantry
All was quiet on the Southern Shelves. The dust of battle had faded, and General Banana Nut surveyed the damage that his victory had cost. Chunks of flour and granola littered the barren wasteland where once raisins had frolicked during happier times. This day had gained the muffins the upper hand in the War of the Pantry, but they had lost so much in the bitter fight.
He sighed as he turned for home, the familiar smell of plastic his one comfort as he slipped inside his meager quarters. Blueberry was already sound asleep, curled into the cardboard bed they had shared for the last few years. He was doing this for her, for them, for the unborn life growing within the curve of her soft crumb. He was the best. The boldest. The bravest. Emperor Bran had personally selected him to lead the troops, but days like today were always the most difficult.
His well-polished tin fell listlessly to the floor as he undressed down to just his wrapper. Tonight he did not hang up the suit that distinguished him as a general among his peers. He didn't want that title, that reminder that he sent so many to their early end.
As he slipped in bed beside the only woman he had ever loved, she instinctively turned towards him as a soft yawn escaped her.
"I'm glad you are safe." She blinked the sleep from her eyes as she nuzzled her top against his and placed a kiss to his cheek. A slight smile lit her face as he leaned down to pull her close, his hand covering the slight swell of her stomach in a protective embrace.
"It– was a trying day..." His shoulders slumped as he spoke, eyes closing as he remembered helpless screams and the smell of battle burning in the air.
