On "Kill Me with Chocolate" by Frank Scozzari (3719 words) ****

This easy-to-read story is a quest. A man is sent out to buy fine chocolate in the middle of the night in a city where the stores are not open twenty-four hours. Along the way, we are given lessons on love and on the nature of romancing a lady. Sometimes (actually, usually), women are really confusing to guys. Read the story here at Referential.

Or it does both. Either way, one ends up feeling for this family and for the way that it is with us humans--all those ancestors we don't remember and are slated to join.
