2959. Contaminated banana
© Bruce Goodman 9 January 2024


Savannah filled a syringe with poison and tucked it into a pocket on her sweater. She had a plan. She would go to the supermarket and inject a squirt of poison into random bananas.

There was a whole rack for bunches of bananas. Savannah pretended to be looking at the quality of each bunch and would return it having injected one banana in each bunch. All in all she managed to contaminate eleven bananas.

All she need do now was to return home and watch events on television unfold over time. This was certainly more fun than watching the news or sports or documentaries.

Nothing happened. Savannah blamed the quality of the poison. She wouldn’t be using that pharmacist again. How she wished her former pharmacist hadn’t accidentally died from eating watermelon.
