PANDEMIC

It is a grisly, grotesque, greenish stick with a head covered in venomous spears. Though it may appear harmless, the true nature of its foul being lies in its juices, which pierce the mouth with a deadly, vile taste. With the first bite, the mouth is exposed to these noxious liquids as the flavor immediately permeates the entire body. The convulsions begin. The only thought and desire is to expel the abomination. But once the body has been exposed to it, the effects are inevitable.

Whether the stick is ejected from the mouth or quickly swallowed, the remnants of the repulsive flavor linger and the shuddering continues. The only way to relieve the agony is to dilute the poison with a long drink. But these acts will only limit the aftertaste slightly, for the effects of this treacherous thing are beyond imagination.

What is this object, you ask? What is this vile, revolting spear?

It is the asparagus.
