Looking deeper... and Darker...

 Ah the yellow M&M man. Ever smiling, playing the optimist to the Red M&M's pessimist. The M&M man trinket that I have described in my previous post can be no different... or can he? Perhaps there is a deeper, darker side to him lingering beneath that hard exterior shell. Perhaps a tortured soul dwells inside his solid candy facade. Trapped inside a plastic bubble, encapsulated, cut off from the outside world. Forever stagnant, he may not move unless others apply their own, separate will. Oh tormented M&M man, crying out for companionship, unable to reach anybody, your plastic prison cell keeping you in and the world out, two prongs from the devil's own pitchfork forever dooming you to spin in place, never getting anywhere, cursed to the same fate as Tantulus, forever grasping for what you truly want but never quite able to reach it. And what of the grains in your prison? Those same grains that brought so many others entertainment with their constant pitter-patter as if rain on the window? What are they to you? Nothing  more than raindrops on a dreary day that is your cursed existence. Well allow me to offer a ray of sunshine on your gloomy day Mr. M&M man; Life always gets better. Some day you shall break free of your plastic fetters, some day you will extend you hand in companionship and somebody will extend theirs in return and when that happens? The two of you shall be thicker than thieves and higher than birds of a feather. When that day comes, you shall see a rainbow on that gloomy, dreary day that is your current state. That rainbow will not be my word of advice coming to fruition, however. It will be your own bright piercing ray of realization that will part the clouds on that rainy day, leaving joyous times and friendship in its wake.
