[ WP ] A candy store owner that gets people to tell him their deepest secrets when they are at the checkout .

De Mesis 
 I should have walked away but it was the first time I had been in there since it had changed into what it was now, Ne Mesis, an old-timie candy shop located on the first floor or the formerly abandon Lotus building. Truly, it was amazing to see such a transition from walls with peeling paint and floors covered in dirt and debris, into a boutique style candy shop with ordinate tiled floors and walls lined with seeming infinite amounts of candy and color. However, even with all of the flair and decor this place still echoed of its past, a memory- a time which stubbornly would not be forgotten, if only by me. 
 `` And where are you going so soon, without buying or even sampling,'' spoke a smooth sounding voice as I met its owner while turning to leave. 
 `` Oh... em, well I'm not really a candy type of guy. I do n't like to relish too much in the things that at bad for me,'' I replied with a quick smile. 
 `` Ah but you have come here have n't you? Everyone has there price, `` retorted the dapper man, of about 50 or so, as he extended his well manicured hand towards me with a smile or rather a type of smirk. 
 I could n't help but look at him funny, there was something about him which felt familiar, and yet I still felt uneasy. 
 `` Come on, a little candy never hurt anyone,'' said the charismatic store owner. 
 As I took the light shinny candy and placed it in my mouth, I could hardly believe it, it was the most delicious candy I had ever had. There was hints of sweetness, and savory moments, with undertows or bitter. I could not help myself I had to have more so I quickly asked the location of the candy and filled up a bag and headed to the checkout at which stood the owner who had given me candy. 
 `` That was quick, how did he possibly manage to get over to the register that quick,'' I thought, but it did n't matter to me because all I wanted was to cash out and eat more candy. So placing another peace discreetly in my mouth, I got in line. 
 It, the line, seemed to take forever as I tapped my finger and looked around anxiously at the building and cashier, the mysterious candyman who kept giving me fleeting smiles as he runout customers. I wanted to leave so bad and never come back to this place, but I had to have my candy. 
 Finally at the moment when it seemed as though I could take it no longer, I I reached the front of the line and meet the man who had spurred me to this purchase. 
 `` Do you have everything you need,'' asked the man with an off putting smirk. 
 `` Yes, I'm good,'' I hastily replied. 
 `` Are you certain, `` smirked the man to me. 
 `` Yes,'' I frustratedly replied. 
 `` Then, why are you here?'' 
 `` Look, I just want my candy and nothing else!'' 
 `` Not even the truth?'' 
 `` The truth? What did he mean by the truth?'' I thought to myself....and then it hit me. Hit me as I began to choke on the once delicious candy I had had in my mouth. He knew, cough, cough, he knew! But....but....cough.'' 
 Coughing was all that I could do for the candy was no longer sweet, savory, nor bitter but rather think and metallically as it ran down my throat restricting my breaking. Then I saw directly into his eyes they were black, but inside of this blackness was a single image a girl, and it was at this moment that the candy and the coughing disappeared only to be replaced with words: 
 `` I killed her... I killed her right here years ago for no reason, no reason at all....I just... I just wanted it so badly.'' 
 With those words, my hidden dark truth was exposed to everyone there, but there was no one there... They all disappeared... everything disappeared in a flicker and I was left alone. There were no longer any customers, or candy, nor even was there the dapper man. It was just me alone in the spot where I had killed-savored her end like the candy, now turned blood in my mouth. This was too much too handle, I broke down and wept upon the dirt and debris coated floor, unable to move due to fear, regret, and confusion and that is when I saw her my candy, my brutal truth come to gain her truth... her vengeance.
