Stalemate
Synopsis A day-old doughnut and a cinnamon roll await their fates at an airport food kiosk. They watch others who are really going places. Yet they are stuck sitting on the shelf, knowing that soon they will be past their shelf life. The doughnut believes it has found salvation in a hungry pastry patron. A final boarding call sends the potential customer dashing away, dashing the doughnut’s dreams.
