I walk into the kitchen with one thing in my mind, that would be fruit. I haven't had a decent piece of Earth food in forever.

I opened the fridge and looked inside it. I pushed some things around being careful not to make much noise considering it was 3 in the morning. I saw a yellow round thing. I grabbed it. It was a lemon.

Good enough.

I sat down at the table in the kitchen. I started to peel it like how you would do with an orange. It took me forever to get the peel off.

It shouldn't taste too sour. Should it?

I split it in half. Lemon juice dripped onto my arm. I licked it then grabbed a slice. I put it in my mouth and chewed.

Huh it isn't that sour.

I continued eating it. I was about half way through when Keith came into the kitchen and turned on the light.

We started at each other for a moment.

"What the fuck Lance? It that a lemon?"

I nodded and put another slice in my mouth, Keith cringed.

"You know what. I'm going back to bed." Keith said.
