Food or Drink

A short story

It was just an average afternoon day

Hunger came my way

I was starving

But at the same time

I wanted a drink

Commence the limbo trip

I walked over

Food place to the left

Beverage market to the right

My gaze focused on the left

Food: paralyzing my tongue with flavor

I had enough in my pocket to cover the whole meal

I would leave very satisfied

My gaze focused on the right

Drinks: washing away my problems and boosting my depression

I had enough for a bottle or two

I would leave ready to be tipsy

So, dear reader, I would leave this up to you

What did you think I ended up choosing:

Food or drink?
