Fruit cookies

an exercise in stream-of-consciousness storytelling. featuring corrections of the original rushed spellings


one day a banana called his friend and said, "hey jannerface, do you wanna go to a movie today"

jannerface said "no thanks i'm kinda busy writing a story right now"

the banana whose name was frumlist said "oh huh that sound weirdly meta, seems like someone isn't being very creative with the concepts that come to their mind"

"what are you trying to say about my writing??" asked jannerface

"oh no sorry i guess *i* got meta there lol" said the banana whose name i need to check uhhh let's see his name was frumlist ok

so then frumlist said "well anyway go write some cool stuff bye see ya"

frumlist walked outside and walked to the park. there was an apple rolling around in the park. frumlist walked up to the apple and picked it up. (it was a normal apple not an anthropomorphic one)

frumlist inspected the apple because like. why was it rolling like that

it didn't seem very weird.....but then suddenly green wings sprouted from it!!

"OH WOAH" said frumlist "hang on ARE you sapient???"

"no" said the apple

"....so is that an automated response?"

"um

"ok no yeah i'm sapient. hahaA TRICKED YOU!! you thought i was just a normal apple?? well i'm actually an ALIEN from the planet greeblox!!"

"oh. neat" said whats his name the banana (FrUMLIST!!)

uh

and then the apple flew away and frumlist shouted "WAIT! what's your name?? i wanna hear another one of these weird names that show up in this world!"

the apple shouted back, "my name's jeff!"

"oh, huh!" shouted frumlist, "i guess that makes sense that the alien would have a normal name!"

"nyeheheheh! TRICKED YOU AGAIN!! my name is actually grobblegork!"


grobblegork flew away from the park. she wanted to go eat some donuts. donuts were something that she hadn't had in like three hours and she needed some NOW. she flew across the road and looked around for a store that might sell donuts. unfortunately there were only houses.

"well maybe one of the houses has donuts!!" grobblegork frantically thought. she flew down to the nearest one and smashed through the window. she flew quickly to the next room, searching for the kitchen, and quickly found it. what she did NOT find was donuts. why would someone just randomly have donuts sitting around

"NO!!!" shouted grobblegork "I NEEEED DOOOONUTS!!!!!!!!"

she flew desperately to the pantry, flew futilely against the refrigerator door trying to open it.....but no donuts were to be found

"WELL!" said grobblegork "if i can't find donuts i GUESS cookies will work!" and she flew to a box of cookies she had knocked out of the pantry. a gash opened up in her side, creating rows of sharp teeth, and she grabbed the box of cookies and flew out.

grobblegork flew back to the park. frumlist was still there, examining the leaves of a flowering plant near a tall tree.

"hey whats-your-face! " shouted grobblegork (she didn't talk through her "mouth" so it wasn't muffled or anything), "wanna have some cookies??"

"oh!" said frumlist in surprise, "hi again, grobblegork! by the way, my name is frumlist - and yeah, i would like some cookies!"

"hrrrrNNN!" grobblegork jerked herself sharply and the box of cookies ripped open. she dropped it on the ground and settled down next to the scattered confections, and started to grind them into dust with her teeth, before settling down in the crumbs to absorb them through her skin. Frumlist sat down and ate what cookies remained in the box (just using his mouth, because he was anthropomorphic)

THE END


AUTHOR'S NOTE:

jannerface is a nonbinary avocado. that is canon

also i guess (raised) donuts are insubstantial enough that grobblegork can absorb them WITHOUT breaking them down first? well the inside at least so maybe she needs to tear an opening

ALSO ALSO i suppose her wings probably ought be based on leaves? and i'm imagining that she looks like a GREEN apple
