Cavity Inducing
It had been a while since Alan had treated himself other than the occasional coffee splurge at his favorite cafe. And it had been even longer since he satisfied his sweet tooth with something other than adding syrup to said coffee. He paid off the rent for the month and he reassured himself that he had some cash to spend. Apparently there was a great place to get sweets of all kinds not too far by bus from the community center he worked at -- according to his class filled with middle school-aged students. They questioned him as to why he had never heard of it before then promptly encouraged him to go after class.
Seeing that he didn't have anything on his agenda as well, he decided, 'why not?' and took the next bus there once class was over with a few of his students volunteering to show him the way.
"Skelly's Sweets," he read the sign outside the shop quietly to himself to commit it to memory if the place was as good as the kids say. He held the door open for them and as they entered, the realization of how out of place he probably looked with a group of preeteens going into a sweets store hit him. His nose was already assaulted by the sugary treats that filled the place by just standing in the doorway. Pursing his lips as he pushed the thought away, he entered as well.
