Devil's Food page 2 by ric gustafson a Halloween story


Roy looked down at the wheels of the steel cart and listened to the irritating noise they made. " Oh great" he muttered as he stared at the wheels hoping the noise would stop. " Out of all the carts sitting there". He quickly walked past the fruits and vegtables and then turned left toward the seasonal aisle. He saw a sign that explained that the candy bar minatures were on sell. He walked up to the display and began to put bags of the Halloween treats into the cart. He was about to leave the aisle when he spotted the white display at the end of the aisle.
" Hostess" he exclaimed out loud and then quickly walked up to the display. He noticed the crumb cake and chocolate donuts and then a smile came to his face. " Devil's Food zingers". He put one into the cart for himself and began to walk. He stopped himself and held up a box. " I wonder if trick or treaters would like them too".
He stared at the cart and knew he was only supposed to bring home minature candy bars. He loved the chocolate outside and the creamy filling inside. ' I'll just take a few boxes to mix in with the candy bars' he thought as he put them into the cart. With a sense of accomplishment, he paid for the groceries and left the store.



Peace and God's blessings. Love Ric
