Raspberry Ripple
A drabble short story
Warning: some existential dread got into my ice-cream story. Sorry.
You gotta love raspberry ripple — it’s a classic for a reason.
He had a shitty day, OK? He needs a little treat, a little moment to just enjoy the raspberry goodness.
He’ll get back to work later. He’ll tie his heart to a desk later. He’ll cry because he can’t pay the bills later. He’ll watch death and destruction on the news later. He’ll wonder how his life got like this later.
You can’t fill the void with ice-cream, and he’s not trying to.
While the world crumbles, he’ll enjoy his ripples. Because he has had one shitty day.
