My mother knocked on my door before going to sleep
There is cake
The family brought it
It was a warning
There was a good luck charm baked into the cake
Noone had gotten it yet
There was more cake left over
but the family took it with them when they left
So they might have gotten the charm
They probably got the charm
It was just a warning
I cut into the cake just after 1 am
I saw the charm immediately
I knew I would get it
Good things were happening
I bit into the cake
One bite
two bites
three bites
I was able to take this charm in my mouth
it hit my teeth and was heavy
I examined it
it was hard like a big tooth
or a piece of a broken toilet
or a dusty statuette at your grandparents house
I took it out of my mouth and held it
It was heavy and shaped like a bag of gold
a word was printed on it
I put it back in my mouth
I licked the rest of the cake off of it
and it hit it against my teeth
and I swallowed it
I am the lucky one
"Farine"
