Carlos’ Escape

By Libra

Carlos Cagle walked his way to school down the sidewalk. Bored already of the morning events and not looking forward to a full day of school. He was a normal average 15-year-old teenage boy with his backpack thrown limply over his shoulder.

Carlos was thinking dully of the big math test that was to be given that day. Carlos was hopeful he would come down with the flu or some freak snow storm to hit. Desperate for an escape from another boring day of school Carlos looked up at the sky, another clear beautiful day with bright blue skies and a few clouds.

Returning his gaze to the street ahead he saw an ice cream truck. Strange thing was it looked like an old fashion one. The truck was old looking in _style_, but appeared to be new. Digging in his pocket for a bit of money Carlos was eager to grab a treat to take his mind off his troubled thoughts.

Scanning the painted menu on the side of van he looked for something with a little chocolate on it. Ice cream, cones, and flavors were only thing on the very top. Looking down at the very bottom in very small print was the words below.

“Magical sweets:”

“Available upon request.”

His mind was puzzled by this. Carlos re-read the sign again to be sure.
