The Healing Apple (5 Minute Freewrite)
Prompt
Picture by @deadgrlsuppastar
This apple does not poison. It can't poison because there is already too many poisoned souls that need to be healed. There have been people with similar outlooks on the world, but have come to hate each other.
This is all for the sake of greedy irresponsible people in power that need to get their way. They don't care about the people they serve. They never will.
This leaves a divided community that needs to come together. Even the so called evil witch realises this and decides to use her power for the good of mankind.
“Whoever eats this apple will become selfless. They will change their ways. They will have the interests of everyone at heart. This will not make them weaker, only stronger.”
The witch will now go to visit the people with power. She will take the apple and give it the the main leader. She decides to take a whole basket of the healing apples.
She knocks on the door.
“Hello, who is it?”
“The apple lady. I bring you apples,” said the witch.
The door opens, it is a policeman. He takes the basket of apples.
“Look, apples for everyone.”
“They need to be tested first,” said a fellow officer. “They could be poisoned.”
“How do we do that?”
“Give some to the rats.”

Really these are the things happening in this contemporary world .
Hatred Hatred and more Hatred !! I would donate a huge garden to the witch so that she can grow as many apples as she can and serve them all the selfish beings out there !! Loved the way you turned a good content around the prompt .
Thank you. We need a magic orchard. This story is inspired by the 2016 UK referendum on membership of the EU. But it could relate to situations all over the world. Leaders just seem to be getting more irresponsible.
I can see this as a monologue and you standing at the speaker's corner in Hyde Park, proclaiming it with loud voice. I like the idea of a healing-apple in a sick world!
I will wear my Jeremy Corbyn hat :-)
Finally, a story with a good witch and apples! If only those with selfish hearts could be changed this way!
Ha! When I read "Give some to the rats.", I was happy that the apples would be going to politicians! 😉
I'm glad you liked it. Ironically, apple is the first word of my baby.
We need those magic apples!!
And you always come up with those great endings. the rats will love us! :)
Thank you, and I realised after that the ending could be interpreted in different ways. Could there be a part 2?
