Chocolate cake and choices

Let us assume that you were sat in restaurant and got the dessert menu.  There are loads and loads of lovely desserts any one of which you might quite like to have.  However when your waiter comes to the table he says the only thing on offer right now is choccy cake.  This isn't a bad thing so you go for the choccy cake (accept a job offer) only to be told that potentially there could have been an option to go with a very small portion of chocolate mousse.  Disappointment aside that you didn't have the option to make the choice the chocolate cake is still looking pretty good.  Only then the possibility of death by chocolate is suddenly dangled in front of you.  It's not quite ready yet but it might be an option ...


The above is a vague reference to some other events in my life, not writing related ... again.  I don't regret the decision I made but nor was I aware of any of the other options and am stuck wondering what if.
