FORBIDDEN FRUIT by TO BE REVEALED
I am a lemon. Fake lemon, actually. Just a Styrofoam blob with a hard yellow coating.
I am hidden strategically under piles of sweaty t-shirts and BDUs.
I am old and useless. I sat around on a dusty shelf in a dollar store, then on a dusty doily in an old lady’s house, and now I sit around under smelly laundry. (Personally, I prefer dust.)
I am not very exciting.
But every few weeks or so, when McKay’s annoyance level is high - when McKay is annoyed with everyone and when everyone is annoyed with McKay - I get pulled out from under the piles of clothes and stashed in the front pocket of Sheppard’s combat vest… Just in case.
