Now I had a decision to
make. I was hungry but I didn’t know how
old this was or how long it had been lying here in the road. Who dropped it and from what century? I remember these from when I was a kid. They were good, if I remember right.
Then again, maybe this was a
trick. Maybe just as I reach to pick it
up, someone off in the bushes pulls a string and the candy bar goes zipping
off, out of reach. Although I don’t see
any string.
I could be on camera. This might be some social experiment to see
if someone is desperate enough to eat some random candy they found on the
road. Maybe I should just keep walking,
ignore it all together.
But then, half a mile away, I’ll
still be thinking about it. Then I’ll
find myself walking a half mile back.
Why put myself through all of that when I’m already here? I should just pick it up and enjoy it. What’s the big deal?
No, that’s dumb. You don’t eat things you find in the road.
I don’t know…
