Bite-sized Memories

Frankie Foster had always loved her grandma's cookies. The smell of freshly baked chocolate chip delights could draw her out from the deepest of sleep on a Saturday morning. So, when Grandma passed away, leaving an array of secret recipes, Frankie felt a bittersweet warmth whenever she decided to bake a batch.
But nothing could have prepared her for the day she stumbled upon the house made entirely of those nostalgic, mouthwatering cookies.
It was a sunny afternoon. Frankie had decided to take a walk through the woods near her grandma's old cottage—some time alone to reminisce. She was deep in her thoughts when she caught a whiff of something tantalizing, something that jerked her back to simpler, happier times. Her nose led her to a small clearing where the sun filtered softly through the trees, illuminating what seemed to be a quaint, cozy house. But there was something unusual about this house.
Could it be?
Her senses weren't playing tricks on her. The doorknob was a perfectly round oatmeal raisin cookie, the windowsills were lemon bars, and the roof tiles were lined with her grandma's signature sugar cookies. The house was not just a house; it was a grand culinary tribute to her grandmother's love.
Frankie's stomach rumbled, and before she even realized it, she was nibbling on the doorknob. One nibble turned into a bite, and one bite turned into a feast. Every cookie, from the gingerbread walls to the molasses door frames, was devoured. Hours passed as she ate her way through memories—each bite taking her back to the warmth of her grandmother’s kitchen. She didn't stop until every last crumb was gone.
When she finally came to a halt, she sat on the forest floor, surrounded by cookie crumbs, feeling a profound satisfaction. She looked down and realized she had indeed gained weight—quite a bit, in fact. Her clothes were tighter, and her body had a new plumpness that she'd never experienced before.
But Frankie wasn't dismayed. Instead, she was enveloped by a newfound joy and a deep sense of contentment. For the first time in a long while, she felt truly happy. The weight she now carried wasn't just physical; it was a comforting reminder of her grandmother's love, of simpler times, and of the unending bond they shared.
As she rose to leave the clearing, Frankie knew the gain was a treasure, not a burden. It was as though her grandma's cookies had filled a void within her heart, making her feel whole again. She walked back through the woods, each step lighter despite her new weight, knowing she was carrying a piece of her grandmother with her, always.
