Lila and Open (Multiples Welcome)
Lila examined the boxes with her name on them when she was awakened by the bell ringing. Toiletries and clothing. Yes, score! After a hasty wash, she made her way to the lighthouse, read the note, and walked inside. Lots of people were already here, eating and talking.
Lila made a beeline for the stacks of waffles she spotted amongst the other offerings.. She piled several on a plate, generously topped with butter and drowned in syrup. She didn't often eat waffles, only occasionally, when the mood struck her. But after days of labor on short rations, she wanted--needed--the calories.
She found a place to sit with her plate of waffles, glass of OJ and cup of coffee. She cut a piece off of the stack and ate it. "Oh my god," she said, when she could speak again. "That's divine!"
