My Rise to Fame, as told by a Hydrox Cookie

Oh the irony: "Its name was formed from the atomic elements which make up pure water: hydrogen and oxygen.  The similar Oreo—introduced later, in 1912—was inspired by the Hydrox, yet Hydrox suffered from the impression of being a knockoff. Compared to the Oreo, the Hydrox had a "tangy, less-sweet filling" and a crunchier cookie that stood up better in milk." (Wikipedia)

But let's let the cookie itself tell the story...

Why did he leave his door open?  Why is she still pretending to read her book?  What will two giant snifters of Hennessy bring to light?
