The Last Candy

Everyone loved camp at first. It was clean and spacious. We got food, tastier than we had ever had. After dinner, a few kids received red candies.
I was envious. Then I realized that those with candies were missing the following day. Soon I saw guardians force candy into screaming mouths.
Tomi and I were the last… He got the candy. I held him until he fell asleep and promised to rejoin him soon. By morning he was gone.
When the regime fell, I was freed. I felt cheated. I never got my candy. I would never see Tomi again.
