Milk and a brownie

Milk and a brownie fit together just as well as a baby and a rattle do. A girl couldn't sleep, she got out of bed in her pajamas and socks and walked across the cold wood floor. She meets the ktchen in a instant and opens the fridge feeling the cold smooth breeze on her face. She looks around, nothing much. And takes a brownie out of the tin. She brings it slowly up to her lip and her front teeth bite in to the square of fudge. She craves another desire, milk. She opens the fridge again and takes out the milk, humming a tune she walks on her socked covered feet to the counter and takes a clear glass off the shelf. She pours the thick white drink in to the glass watching as it falls like a waterfall. She takes it satisfied and brings the brownie once again up to her lip to feed. She then walks to her room and sits down and drinks her milk, just a sip, but a big sip. Satisfied with the taste she eats the rest of her brownie in greed and drinkd her milk down to the bottom. With milk on her face and fudge free she walks on her socked covered feet once again to her computer. And writes a post about it.

Mom I know your not happy with me for eating in my bedroom but, no mess:)

You are hilarious Hannah!

I love your description of meeting the kitchen... and the milk waterfall was lovely as well.

I am worried about your teeth! Such a mum thing to say, heh?

"She craves another desire"
What a fabulous line!
I really enjoyed reading this, Hannah.
It was so well described, I could see the green walls behind you as you walked from your bedroom to the kitchen.

i like the way you tied the socks in throughout the narrative.

a superb sense of a beginning, middle and end.

Very poetic prose. That's my favourite writing style.
I'm sad that I ate the last brownie yesterday.

You're a great writer, Hannah. Great choices of words! And Dave's right... you'd love Annie Dillard's writing. She wrote this book called "An American Childhood" which has stuff similar to this post. Very cool.
