I sat at my desk, staring at my blank computer screen. What am I going to do now? How am I going to live? My whole life has changed dramatically in the last minute since I found out. Since I knew.

I got up and collapsed on my bed. What was the point now? What was the point in anything? Why try when everyday I would have this knowledge in the back of my head, haunting me, laughing at me?

My phone buzzed and I lethargically sat up to grab it off my bedside table. Who would be texting me now? Now when absolutely nothing mattered anymore?

It was from my mom. Asking how I was. How I was taking the news. I didn't respond. What was the point? She knew. Everyone knew.

I looked over at my garbage can. I had wasted so much of what I had! Why didn't I treasure it more at the time? Why didn't I realize the true value of what I had been blessed with?

I started to cry. My life was in shambles. Nothing could ever feel right again. I would never recover from this setback.

Suddenly I remembered something. I ran down the stairs, around the corner, and burst into the kitchen at top speed. I have it. I have the answer! How I'm going to live!

I opened my secret cupboard. Inside was the most precious commodity in the world. What everyone would want soon. What I had en mass.

Chocolate.

While everyone else pined, I had the last stash known to mankind. Whoever had the chocolate, had the power. And I had the chocolate.
