Ding.
It’s breakfast time! Today, you get fruit!
Yummy, healthy fruit! We’ve got apples, we’ve got cherries, we’ve got… erm…
Those… things, and…
And...
This thing… and, erm
And also…
Ok, is that thing even real?
Yep, you’ve got plenty of tropical fruits!
I’m sure they’re all edible. Probably. Mostly. And you might not even be allergic to most of them.
You pick up one of the spiky pink things and look it over. I think you’re supposed to open it? Maybe?
Yep! You crack it open with a fingernail, and inside is a white blob.
Oh, turns out there’s a huge seed inside. Now you know. You might also need to go to the dentist after this.
It’s pretty sweet and juicy, actually. It's good. You eat another couple, now that you know how. You’ll have to figure out what they’re called and track some down once you get out of here.
Next you look at the wrinkly yellow one. You take a deep sniff. The smell reminds you vaguely of cat pee.
Lovely. Well, you crack it open, see a bunch of seeds surrounded by very juicy pulp, and slide them into your mouth.
MISTAKE. That was a mistake! Hoo boy, you didn’t know anything in nature could be that sour! It’s pretty inedible. Maybe if it had a ton of sugar on it, that’d mellow it down. Or if it were blended up into a juice, with plenty of water, might be good.
As-is, though, yeah you can’t eat this. Actually, you're slightly worried this might be poisonus.
Ok, time for the spiky green thing!
You look it over. Having being given no cutting instruments, you decide to pass on it. It just looks... like a thing you need a cutting instrument to open. You're sure it's very delicious and not at all toxic (like that last thing), but yeah. You don't feel like destroying your hands trying to get it open.

You’re pretty sure the smooth yellow things are just tiny mangos. They smell like mangos, at least.
You give one a few squeezes, and find that it’s very ripe and juicy. Maybe if you just, I don’t know, bite off a piece of the skin and suck the juice out like a vampire?
You try it.
Yep, that works! You are now even more convinced that this is a tiny mango. It’s good. You suck a few more dry.
Yummy.
The spiky (lumpy?) yellow one you manage to break open with your fingers.
Inside it kinda looks… well, look. You take a bite of the seed-filled white stuff.
It, erm, it tastes sweet. That’s about it. No real flavor, just crunchy sugar water. If you were forced into deciding what the flavor was like, the best description you could come up with would be an extremely faint kiwi taste.
Actually, if you mixed the insides of the spiky yellow one with the insides of the wrinkly yellow one, that would probably taste good!
You scoop out the white seedy stuff and smash it into one of the yellow wrinkly fruits.
Perfect.
Ok, then you tip it up and slurp it all into your mouth at once, chewing quickly.
Oh yeah, that’s way more edible. It might actually qualify for “enjoyable”.
Cool. If only we knew what these things were…
Well, that’s enough experimentation for this morning. You finish breakfast off with an apple. A nice, normal, recognizable apple.
It is good. It's familiar. It's nice.
It's all you really needed.
Well, no. Coffee would be nice, but looks like you can't have everything.

8 103Free Your Mind
A journey through the mind can be a mixture of the good, the bad, the pure, and the evil. Free Your Mind is a collection of poems and short stories that I've written over the years. As of now, this book is still in progress, but I've planned to release at least 25 to 30 chapters minimum for Free Your Mind. Hopefully you enjoy reading through the works already published for this book, and I hope you'll stick around for what's to come in the future. If you have any comments, ideas, critiques, etc. please let me know! I'm always open to what people have to say about my work. Free Your Mind is a way for me to dabble into releasing my writings for the public to read. And hopefully, if all goes decent with this book, I'll continue to upload different works alongside this. Note: Currently the cover work for Free Your Mind isn't mine. I plan to upload an original design once I've completed the chapters for this book.
