Let them eat cake!
By Grant Baciocco

“Have you brought cake?” Dolores shouted down the hallway at Agnes.

Agnes leaned her cane against the wall and pulled back the bed sheet she had covering the cart she’d taken from the cafeteria.  The cart was laden with cakes of all varieties.  Chocolate, strawberry, vanilla and more.  Agnes smiled, “As you can see, I have.  And you?”

Dolores gestured to her left and Agnes could now see that the long table in the hallways was covered with several cakes as well.

“Then we’re well prepared.” Dolores said.

“Indeed.” Agnes replied.

The air hung heavy between them.

Agnes inhaled, “Fight!”
