What’s left isn’t always finished speaking

I found this one on Seigle Avenue, its center carved into a near-perfect crater. The exposed flesh had begun to brown, but not fully. It still held a faint pink hue, as if resisting the inevitable.

Structurally, it remained intact. No collapse. No surrender. Just a quiet softening at the edges. The surface gave slightly, suggesting time had passed, but not too much. Not yet.

The sugar had softened, giving way to something quieter at the edges. Not fresh, but not finished.

The larger beings among us rarely stay long enough to see them through. Even at their sweetest, apples are left behind.

A shame. This is where they begin to say something.

Verdict: Worth a second pass
