Huh. I thought she was talking about chicken. "But chicken is yucky, dear reader" DON'T JUDGE ME AND MY LIKING TOWARDS CHICKEN, THEY DESERVE MORE LOVE.
Overall, I think this is more of an exercise in how good a writer is than it is a story (if that makes sense). I mean, if you can make something as overwhelmingly simple as someone eating chocolate suspenseful and literary, anything is possible.
Some highlights:
-"I walk over to the bucket and take out another" Okay, this is what made me think of chicken. I mean, wouldn't it make sense if she was picking out chicken from a bucket rather than chocolate? I don't know, maybe that's just me but it irked me.
-Also, why hasn't Elisia ever eaten chocolate? Are her parents conspiracy theorists who believe that everything created by the evil corporations will poison their children, and therefore grow their own food? I suppose we will never know.
-" That's when I realize I'm done." This was weird. Could you possibly say 'done eating' or something of the sort? Just a peeve of mine, but you know.
Anyway, great job. Props to you. Also, Happy Review Day.
