Inspired by the children’s classic Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak
And another
She called him “Sweet Thing!” and he said “I love you so!” and she hugged him but sent the Valentine sweets to the cupboard without eating any.
That night he thought of her resolutions and his guilt grew
And grew
And grew until it became all black and its walls turned heavy, closing in all around.
And in and out of hours
And almost over an entire morning
To create a wildly tasty treat.
And when he peered into the oven where the wildly tasty treat baked, the cake looked so deliciously cakey, and the chocolate looked so deliciously chocolatey, and the smell was so deliciously…aromatic.
And smiled because of his magic trick
Of using a natural sweetener without adding sugar once and he knew it would be yummy and called it the tastiest (and healthiest) of all and made it king of all of tasty treats.
“And now,” cried Dax, “let the wild scrumptious-eating start!”
…
Then, with the guilt forming all around,
He heard a happy sound of his waking sweetheart
So he determined again to make the king of all the treats.
I don’t have time—” and he let out a sigh.
But Dax said, “No!”
And he remembered how the cake looked so deliciously cakey, and the chocolate looked so deliciously chocolatey, and the aroma was so deliciously aromatic
And Max saw the glimmer of the perfect idea sparkling from afar and he snatched it again and he worked through the rest of the morning
And in and out of hours
And into the afternoon
To create a wildly tasty treat
For his lovely sweetheart who had just come down the stairs into the kitchen where she found him with a cake
And it was still free of sugar.
