Feeling my hunger swell in my gut, I turned to the refrigerator for something to fill the empty spot.
And there it was, glimmering in the dull flickering light in the some what artic atmosphere of the ice box.

With pallid hands, I drew it from its resting place keenly. I admired the contrast of the ruby, glimmering covering to the fair, flawed color of my skin. Amazing...

The hunger was sufficed, and the quenchable fruit had filled the void. I wonder what I'll have for dinner...hmm...
