The Lucky Cookie series, which I started between late 2020 and early 2021, was never truly finished. I always knew I would return to it because I like the idea very much: it acts as a tiny, crunchy shield. It says the things I am too shy to say out loud. If any truths were being told here, it is the cookies speaking—not me. It takes all the credit (and the blame); I am merely the messenger.
But for five years, the cookies remained silent. Until today.
It was sunny yesterday. I really wanted to go out, but at the same time, there are so many things I genuinely enjoy doing that require me to stay at home. I finally made it outside around 4 pm. It was lovely, but fifty sneezes later, I was back indoors.
Lucky me! I now have the perfect excuse not to fight with the sun and to stay at home in peace. In the background, a voice spoke loudly to me: “It is sunny outside, but your 99 hobbies demand you to stay at home.” It seems the cookie fairies finally had something to say.
