The Magazine

 the woman had been hungering her whole life.

she walked into the grocery store 

and walked out with the food magazine under her jacket. 

she thought it would bring her joy

she looked through the glossy pages

ingredients like fresh Thai basil and truffle oil seemed strange and exotic to her.

all that food she didn't have and the absurd idea of owning a kitchen, yet alone a home 

filled her with rage.

she tore the pages out

and let them scatter on the wind.

Cinderfella


Cinderfella worked in a grocery store. 

He had an evil stepmother and mean coworkers.

They treated him like dirt.

But everything changed the day he saw his prince working behind the Starbucks counter.
