It all began with a rumor.
They said the grapefruit was dangerous. A mystery. A diva among citrus fruits. A moody sorceress with untamed powers. Those who tasted her carelessly were said to toy with fate.
He heard that. And grinned.
That was exactly why he wanted her. Today, he was in the mood to challenge fate.
So he left his cozy chaos behind, stepped into the cool, buzzing air of the city, as if some quiet calling accompanied him. With purpose in his stride, he passed sluggish pedestrians, breakfast croissants and morning bustle – heading straight to the display where she waited.
Round. Flawless. Dangerous.
The grapefruit. A promise in citrus form. She lay heavy in his hand, pink on the inside, glowing with a golden aura.
He hurried home. Back in his kitchen, he could barely stand the tension. Melon, blueberries, kiwi and banana – they all bowed before the queen. One push of a button, and he felt her magic unfold. Like an orchestra of blades and juice.
And then – the first sip.
BOOM
It wasn’t a taste. It was a tremor. A bittersweet revelation. As bold as life itself. And yet... different.
What happened next is hard to explain. He felt electrified, as if someone had switched the world to Technicolor. The tiredness vanished. The sky smiled. And somewhere deep inside, a song began to play – one he had long forgotten.
He went outside. Just like that. For the second time today.
And he knew: Something had happened. Was it the grapefruit? Was it him? That evening, he stood in the kitchen again, looked at the empty glass and smiled quietly.
“Maybe it was all just in my head.”
But the grapefruit had done its work.
