Double Stuffed Kookies by Kris P. Kreme
Last year, readers were treated to a freebie, a very short partial story about a girl selling cookies meets a man more interested in her. A year later, fully rewritten and more than double the original length, read Double-stuffed Kookies, an all new short story by the Kreme.
Melissa Miller is the girl every girl envies in school, the senior with a smart head on her shoulders and nothing holding her back from the best final year ever in high school. She’s a shoe-in for Prom Queen and this year she is determined not just to take the crown but to make this the best prom in the history of her small town. All she needs to do is bat a few eye lashes and dress to impress as she raises money for the prom by selling cookies.
Sometimes they say it’s best to quit while one’s ahead and Melissa would have done well to heed that warning, to resist the impulse to improve a record cookie selling day by selling to the mysterious man in the brick house. No one knows this man but rumors are spread each and every year, rumors of what this man does, what happens to those who disturb him, and more importantly why never to set foot on his doorstep.
From the moment Melissa Miller sees that door swing open everything changes, including her. Soon it won’t be the head on her shoulders that she needs to concern herself with but the boulders those shoulders support. Soon she’ll learn her fate, a fate quite similar to the double-stuffed cookies she’s attempting to sell. In the end, Melissa Miller is still the best salesgirl in her school, but what she might be selling is an entirely different product.
