100 Words (Sex and Chocolate)

It doesn’t happen often, certainly not when you’re expecting it. The anticipation dulls the senses and distracts the imagination. As your hand empties its contents into your mouth and you bite down, you savour the unique taste that’s released when the crisp, sugar shell explodes between your teeth. A citrus tang cuts across the creamy chocolate as it liquifies across your tongue, sending sparks across your synapses and a powerful rush of blood to the head. The flavour reaches its peak and fades to something more familiar; a memory from your childhood. That’s truly the sensation of the little death.
