Another story. "Candy"

Candy loved pies. Her favourite one was the apple pie. Well, actually she loved any type of pies. She could spend hours eating until she couldn’t stand it anymore. Then, she lay down on the couch while the next pie was already baking in the oven.

Lately, Candy’s life had been very simple, basically, it was consisted of three things: working, eating and sleeping. Her work was very exhausting and when she finished she only wanted to relax and not to think of anything.

For this purpose, sleeping was perfect because you cant think while you are sleeping and she was so tired when she got home that she could take naps of almost three hours.

After a long nap, she woke up and the first thing that came to her mind was “Apple pie”. And this idea was pretty attractive because in these times you don’t need to spend time baking, you can just buy a precooked pie, in that way you can eat anytime you feel like to.

And, for sure, Candy ate anytime she felt like it. But, maybe, she felt like it too often. And she wasn’t only eating too much, but too quickly too. She didn't even taste the flavours. For Candy the most important thing wasn’t quality but quantity.

When you eat so much you usually aren’t able to sleep well so Candy was having bad dreams every night, and everytime she couldn’t sleep, guess what she did, she'd eat. She ate until she felt sleepy and then, she went to bed again.

Obviously, she was getting very fat. This made her feel more stressed and the thought that she should eat less made her hungrier so she ate a pie. She knew she was doing wrong but everyone has a vice right? When some people are stressed they smoke too many cigarettes so Candy ate too many pies. Why not?

One day Candy had to assist to a special event in the office. She didn’t want to go, especially with the jerks that she worked with, but the boss wanted to see everyone there. At least, there was one good thing: food.

She started to eat covertly, each time quicker just as every hour was getting more boring. Finally, she achieved to finished all the pies she found without anybody complaining and when she was about to take the last bite of the last pie, suddenly, she exploded. So all the people burst out laughing covered in pieces of apple pie until the boss said: Ok guys, next point of the day?
