Forbidden

The sweet tartness was complex on my tongue.
…big, elegant flavor with a hint of minerals and unctuous fruitiness.
The crisp flamboyance made me take another bite. 
Juicy flesh dribbled down my face and I wiped it away with my grubby hand.
Hidden by the arch of verdant green, I greedily grabbed more.
I was alone.
I gorged until suddenly a cramp seized me tightly around the gut.
Moaning in pain, I fell to the earth.
I glanced at the stones bruising my flesh.
I was naked.
Apple cores littered the dusty ground around me.
When did I get naked?

Funny... you thought about food, too! Great piece, Miss Jenny!

ROFL! I loved this! :)

Ha! Ha! Too funny- and I think your getting "naked" happened in the middle of your apple-grabbing frenzy!

I could probably do that with green apples if they weren't so tart! That's the thing that stops me.
I do like my bananas more on the green side. When they're overripe, they're just nasty.

That was darn funny Jenny! I've wondered how I ended up that way myself a few times. Back in the day that is....

When I first saw the photo, I wondered if it was a sin to pluck your eyebrows back then.
