"And my last question," the Green Demon says, stopping next to her, "What do you want?"

Forming her thoughts takes time, as she has been filled with apple pulp, a core, and seeds. "I want to be eaten," she finally says slowly.

The Green Demon throws his head back in laughter, "Oh yes, my dear sweet apple, that is exactly what you are supposed to want."

She knows it is wrong to want that, but her entire being is just what he said it would be: an extra large apple. Unsure of what to say, she asks honestly, "Will you take a bite out of me?"

The Green Demon can only laugh harder, "As tasty as you look, I'm afraid that I cannot...buy maybe that Larry co-worker of yours will." Leaving her alone, the Green Demon walks away, satisfied with his latest experiment in VirtuoWorld.
