as she sat and waits for the people to move,
she decides to try to understand what she wants better
sure, she wants that cookie
but is it the actual cookie she wants?
or is it just the concept of the perfect snack
that was sweet, beautiful and in every seeming way
perfect
thinking about it, she realizes that maybe
just maybe
the cookie wont as good as she thought it was.
so she walked to the cupboard
that held all the cookies in the kitchen
and took a good look at them
yes beautiful
yes intensely delicious looking
but then she figured it out
that cookie wont last forever
and with her standing there
that cookie wants to be eaten
but she was not going to be the one to eat it
she turned, and walked from the kitchen,
turning her back on the cookie jar, and the pickle
(which she no longer wanted)
and looked ahead in her life
there would be so many snacks in her life
so she was not going to waste her time
and use up her time
when she wasn’t going to eat the cookie anyways
and honestly,
i think she knew that to begin with
and that
really is
The End.

Description:
looking back at my story
The Elf and the Cookie Jar
what do we see in it?
we see a confused girl who knows what she wants
but has found it in 2 places
look at that ending
she goes with her original heart
and she got everything she ever wanted.
seems a little to good to be true
just because you want something
and you see it as this awesome thing
something you cant live without
is it ever what you thought it was?
life doesn’t work that way.
so i made an alternate ending to this story. - Date: 02/16/2009
