There it lay the glistening red apple sitting amongst the other fruit.
There are bananas, grapes and oranges but none possess the same power as the apple.
One bite from its glorious red goodness could disconnect its victim from life forever.
So innocent but so deadly.
The apple remains uneaten until someone falls into the trap of their unsuspecting killer.
