Cotton Candy





Cotton Candy
In the heart of a sleepy carnival town, there was a legend whispered among the candy vendors—a secret too sweet to be real. They said, on nights when the moon blushed pink, the sky would unravel like spun sugar, cascading into fluffy clouds that drifted lazily across the fairgrounds.
Lena, a dreamer with sticky fingers and a wild imagination, had always believed the tale. She waited, year after year, with an empty paper cone in hand, hoping to catch a piece of the mythical sky.
Then, one summer evening, the impossible happened. The world hushed. The wind carried the scent of vanilla and strawberries, and suddenly—there it was. The sky, dripping with melting hues of pink, blue, and golden sunshine, swirled down toward her fingertips.
As she twirled her cone, the air around her thickened, pulling the colors into a delicate confection. It wasn’t just cotton candy—it was the essence of dreams, spun into sweetness.
The carnival-goers gasped in awe, watching Lena take a bite. Soft. Light. Magic.
And just like that, the legend became real.
