100 Drabble Challenge 6 - Obsession
{Yeah I skipped a few, I know, but I really wanted to do this one.}
Obsessions. Everyone has one. Weather it be time on the internet, to cocaine. Everyone has some sort of obsession or addiction. BJ's happened to be something less lethal. Cookies.
They were not just any type of cookies. They were Chips Ahoy Mini's. She loved them so much. They had to be one of the only things on this god forsaken planet that made the Loric girl smile. The smell that came from the bag when her slender fingers opened it. The crunch they had to them when she popped one into her mouth. The perfect ratio of mini chocolate chips to the size of the cookie. They were her little piece of Heaven on Earth.
When ever she past a small store she had to stop and get some. She felt they made everything better. They filled the emptiness in her cold, stone heart, and they made her stomach feel warm and fuzzy. They made her take her mind of the whole war for just a while, and wonder what her life would be like had she still had her parents, and was still on Lorien.
She imagined these cookies tasting like the ones her mother would make. She saw herself trying to help, but just making a greater mess. She could see her little brother, giggling in his high chair, while her father read a book while sitting at the kitchen table. She badly wanted that life.
She knew she'd never have it. She'd never have the chance to have it. Her parents would always be gone. She'd never see her brother's smiling face again. They were gone... This felt like her only tie to them.
She would forever be obsessed with the sweet, crunchy taste of her family.
