The World of Milk

Darby gave his chocolate-chip cookie a dunk and wondered what it would be like to dive into his glass and explore the World of Milk. He could look at his world through a glass of water, but sure as February becomes March he couldn't see into the World of Milk. Of course, he couldn't see into a pumpkin either, but when Cinderella climbed into one it took her to the ball to meet Prince Charming. Now, Darby certainly didn't want to go to some corny dance, so he got himself a ticket on the Vitamin D Express.

In the World of Milk, when he breathed, milk never went up his nose, and it didn't come out it when he laughed. It seemed as though brackets held the butterscotch moon in the dark-chocolate sky, but really it's like a basketball floating in Hershey syrup. Darby leaped through hoops and gardens to catch a big chocolate bunny -- but he didn't eat it. That's just not done. He let it go and then he sank until he came to rest in the Cookie Crumb Wasteland.

Darby thought he could just make out the remains of the Shamrock Shipwreck when his mother told him to get his eyeballs out of the milk carton and shut the refrigerator door. It was madness she said, but he saluted King Don, the ding-dong dictator of the World of Milk and pledged to return after his family had gone to bed.
