Hello Muffin [open]

It had been a hell of an ordeal to get this muffin, but she was broke, and it was all she could get.

She cradled it close to her chest in the same way someone would hold a precious diamond. It was her dinner for tonight. A blueberry muffin the size of her fist, and she'd walked all the way into town for it. Evelyn didn't have much choice. There was always the school dinners they served in the cafeteria, but they were serving meat again tonight...

Evelyn sighed, staring down at her muffin. They were out of groceries too, and she couldn't even afford a trip to the stupid convenience store. Oh well. She needed to lose weight anyway, right? Right? ;_;

But I'm so hungry...

Dusk was setting over Rosebury, and the familiar smells and sounds of spring were hitting her all at once. The sharp scent of fresh mowed grass, flowers and pine needles, the lake, the gentle songs of crickets and frogs, even the distant howling of a coyote somewhere up in the mountains. After a long winter, bees were buzzing again, and the sky was clear of clouds for once.

At least she could enjoy the walk back. The school was still a mess after Easter.
