w/milk

I was overcharged for the lucky charms. 

I knew this at the time of purchase. 

I took them back to my dorm room and ate all of the marshmallows, digging through the unclosable plastic with my fingers. 

I felt better then, but the next day I ate the plain cereal for breakfast. The left side of a decapitated unicorn lay prostrate in my bowl between all of the grain. It tried to wonder where its brethren had gone, 

but ponderous mortality required a right hemisphere. 

We looked at each other and decided that the day would be a miserable one.
