Prompt: Create a short story or poem on how to eat a munchkin, must use the 5 senses, and cannot use the word "eat", or "ate".

Aelita stared at the munchkin on the napkin, the light dully gleaming off of its glazed surface as she sat in a plastic chair in Dunkin Donuts. As hard as it was for her to believe, she had not eaten a munchkin before, much less know anything about what it was. As a result, she had picked up the nearest one from the box and put it on her Dunkin Donut-logoed napkin for her critic-like circumspect scrutiny. Cautiously, Aelita raised a tentative finger and poked it, watching as it slightly moved under her touch. It rolled a bit before stopped and rolled backwards, bouncing around on the thin piece of paper.

The smell of coffee and donuts around her was starting to make her stomach growl, constantly bothering her about how empty it was. Unsure of what to do, she picked it up and smelled it, just to see if it had a discerning scent to it. To her disappointment, the munchkin didn't smell like anything at all. Frowning, she put it back down on the napkin and wondered what to do with it.

It certainly didn't look like it was very filling, due to its small size. It certainly didn't have an interesting smell unlike the pleasant fragrance vanilla coffee wafting in the air, so it was most unlikely that munchkins would taste good. It looked like a bald boulder, thoughts of both aged, balding people and the unappetizing thought of eating rocks putting her off a little.

Still, Aelita had bought a bunch of them in a moment of adventurous curiosity, though she did not know exactly what possessed her to do so. Picking it up again, the glaze began to crack a little and fall off in small fragments as he fingers brought it once again to her eye sight. Sighing in exasperation, she bought it to her mouth and nibbled at it, eyes lighting up in pure delight at the dry, but sugary taste.

Grinning like a madman, she popped it into her mouth, and with four quick snaps of her jaw and a swallow, fully experienced a munchkin- one of the things that truly puts the saying "Big things come in small packages" to its full extent. Licking her lips and smacking them in satisfaction, she reached into the box and felt the rough, coarse texture of another munchkin, grasping it in her hand and eager to divulge into another bout of a sugary heaven.
English Class randomness.

Story created before Thanksgiving break.
