Disclaimer: I don’t own the mentioned products or people.
Notes: I almost called this “Mouthful of Rainbow.” Should I have kept that title?
His father had restricted Jimmy’s access to Skittles, saving them for rewards. The one benefit of being “un-adopted” was eating as many Skittles as Jimmy could buy.
Jimmy was already addicted when he was adopted. Some days all he remembered of the orphanage were the intense moments of happiness when given a packet of Skittles.
Jimmy savored a mouthful of Skittles, remembering his first packet. Jimmy had been hiding under his bed. So the nun had offered a small handful of Skittles, promising him the rest once he came out. That first handful was Jimmy’s favorite memory off the ice.
