Confectionery without consequences

Sugar free cotton candy

All carnival architecture. None of the difficult pink decisions.

A bare stick leaning against a cotton candy machine under a striped awning, a bag of pink sugar left unopened

Shift At Noon

At noon, the bare stick reports to the midway and takes its place beneath the striped awning. The machine hums. Children point. The operator reaches for a sugar bag, remembers the policy, and puts it back. By closing time, the stick is still immaculate, structurally sound, and owed one full day’s wages. No cleanup is requested. The gulls lose interest.
