The last one

For my first daily create I made a short writing piece to the prompt “the one who got away.” As I am wholly unromantic, I decided to write my piece about something I really care about: candy.

You were the one that got away. The others, brown, red, green and blue, they stayed in their place until I could pluck them away, one-by-one. But you, the last yellow, you fell out of the bag and slipped through my fingers, rolling away into the hidden depths of the movie theatre floor. Goodbye, last yellow M&M, you were the one that truly got away.
