the sweet aroma
wafting through the air
caught me by surprise
i followed it,
closing my eyes
to fully focus
my nose guided me
through the greenery
to a clearing
there sat a single shrub,
covered by deep red fruits
and light green leaves
i gingerly grabbed one
and inspected it for flaws,
but it was flawless
i carefully took a bite and
my taste buds exploded like
sweet, delicious fireworks
the sweet flesh had
tart tangs, further
enhancing the sugary flavor
i opened my eyes slowly,
coming back to reality,
where i sat in a cold room
i was in a dirty, isolated room
with an oblivious hand,
left searching for the fruit
the chains connecting me
to the wall had
613 links in total
i finished counting as
the door opened and
an ominous man entered
"welcome home, persephone"
