Death by Candy Store

It was this act of self-preservation he had developed after years of defending himself from emotional scarring: If he imagined something happening, it wouldn’t happen. So Michael tried desperately not to imagine the floor of the Children’s House collapsing into Sid’s Sweets, dropping him directly into the giant pit of Starlight Mints below.

But it happened.

And now he can eat himself to death if he wants to. The cases of Jawbreakers seem to say, Do it, Michael, do it. The Cow’s Eyes say, Eat us because it makes you happy, and the Gummi Sharks say, Eat because you’re free.
