Late Night Snack

When it hits there's no stopping it; no way of controlling this primordial instinct. No matter what you do it calls you, and there is only one way of sufficing it: midnight hunger. Look around the room and eat whatever you see. Normally this is a great thing; grab a box of Cheez-Its or some ice cream. But I happened to be in a little dilemma. It was three in the morning, and I was at my friend's dorm with no food in sight. I didn't know what to do. How was I going to quench my need? I got up and went in search of some delectable late night snack. I walked around the floor hoping someone dropped a Pop-Tart or another quick snack, but nothing. Then a beacon of hope. There, at the end of the hall their floor lobby. As I walked in I saw it on the table: brownies.

I grab one and just before I begin to gorge on it, I stop. Is this really a good idea? Should I be eating brownies that have been sitting there for who know how long? Someone could have made them as a joke and put something in them. They looked so good though. There was only one way to find out, I picked the best looking one and took a small but reasonable bite out of it. MMM MMM MMM. Not just a chocolate brownie but a mint chocolate brownie. To this day I have not had any repercussions from this decision and I stand with all the way. When the urge hits you, anything goes.
