Disappointed that the most fun he would have today would probably involve a book and some sunshine, Mark gently put the candy back in his pocket and went downstairs. He gave his sister's room a wide berth as he passed, lest he be tempted to eavesdrop again, but as he hurried by all he could hear was *this weeks latest single* blaring from behind the door. He grabbed his keys from the fruit bowl by the front door, put on his headphones and made his way down the street to the park.
As he made the 10 minute walk to the park, Mark felt his mood brighten, but he could not be wholly rid of the startlingly clear images of the dragon from his day-dream, or stop thinking about its depraved actions...
As Mark entered the park, he made his way up to a bench at a secluded shady spot, which was set back in the trees near a small pond. This was his favorite place to read, as the sun was still able to penetrate through the leaves, and he was far away from the sounds of other people playing sports. Mark was happy to see that the bench was unattended, and a few short minutes after sitting down he became engrossed in his book, the memories of the animalistic day-dream finally leaving him.
After am hour or so of reading, Mark could feel his belly rumble...damn, in his excitement earlier he'd forgotten to pack a sandwich. His expression was that of a bitter smile as he remembered the dragon candy in his pocket, and with a twinge of sadness thought that they would be useful to a loser like him after-all. Reaching into his pocket he popped off the lid and fished out one of the candies. As he brought the candy up to his lips he was once again rewarded with it's sweet aroma, but what color was the candy in front of him?
