Entry 5: Spicy Tongue

 Flame That Keeps Burning

    Welcome back to my blog. Today's topic is a little bit different and let's see if you can guess what I'm talking about. When I open the case and you hear the click, you get a tiny bit of anticipation of what's coming. Inside the case a small little red oval that has that shimmer and shine to it. Turn the case over and take one out just to feel the grittiness of the sugar coating. Then looking at it almost as if it looks dangerous with the red evil-looking presence. 

Sensation

I throw it fiercely into my mouth and on my tongue, I taste sweet and simple. Then it hits like an NFL linebacker with the heat and numb-like tingling sensation on my tongue and taste buds. A steady flame is almost biting the sun. Tongue tingling, lips burning, and all the while each breath you take feels as if you're having that sweet cooling heat sensation. Each crunch adds a new wave of warmth up to the nose, clearing out the sinuses and clearing your head. 

"Campfire"

    With each chomp its not the chill of winter, but the comfort of a campfire. Just like when your too close to a campfire the burn that is smooth but hurts at the same time.  That makes the memories of laughing, family, and cold nights all gathered around that campfire, come rushing back. Something about the heat with each chomp it demands attention just like a campfire. 

The End

    As the heat fades away the sweetness returns, but just a little heat still lingers like the last bit of coals in a dying fire. The warmth will linger as long as the chewing persists and like memories, it refuses to leave. It's almost ironic that something so small can stay with you long after it's gone. Thank you for reading my blog this week I had a pretty hard time with this one but as always have a good week and I will see you next time. Let me know in the comments if you know what I'm talking about in my blog.
