Licorice Wand .45
July 6th 2070
It was Zhenya's 6th birthday. Dimitri gave her a long, narrow, spherical present with a red bow on the top. It looked rather odd, that big bow.
She smiled up at him, with three teeth missing, "'Fanks Dima," she said, and took the present. She opened it, and looked at it funny. "What's it?" she asked him.
"It's called a Licorice Wand Zhenny - silly. You eat it!" he said.
She shrugged and took a bite out of it. She chewed it. Then her family laughed in amusement as her face screwed up.
"UGH DIMA!" she gasped. "Gross it's so tangy!"
