Narrative

So about 2 years ago, I visited an IKEA in Dallas. I was with a Church Group, on a trip, so I was with my friends. We had a spending limit, so I just got my meal, but one of my friends cut one of his items to get a slice of cake. We sat down and I tried a bite of it, and it was delicious, I wanted more. Sadly, I couldn’t pay for one, so I just kept eating. When I was done, there was a dish rack to put your trays and leftovers in. I went over to it, and saw a tray with an entire slice of uneaten cake! One bite had been taken, it was fine. I took it, and ate in in secret to not be judged for eating stranger’s cake. I ate it, it was delicious, that’s the whole story. That’s it. Not my favourite dessert, or favourite memory, but its the most notable dessert memory. The end. That’s it. The end.
