Trapped

"Help me! Help me!" she cried through the chink.

Nobody heard her.

They couldn't. The green walls that had entrapped her were too thick. The chink through which sound could have travelled was too small.

She peeped out of the chink. Sunlight. Hundreds of people were walking in and out of the subway. A mutt was ambling across the zebra crossing. And all this while she was entrapped within a green apple on a bus-stop bench! How her friends would laugh!

People do get stuck in elevators. One could get stuck trying to take something out from under the bed. One could even get one's head stuck between the bars of a gate. But to get stuck inside an apple? (And not even a red one!) How dumb was that!??

@ dreamy
Thankee :)

@ dyaus, kaushik, coffee
The ant attack story was separate from the apple story. I wasn't imagining a worm/caterpillar/ant sitting inside the apple and grumbling. But it's nice to see it from that angle :D

@ coffee
"put the worm betweet hte red ants and let nature take its course!" --nice solution!

@ moolah
Thank you for not thinking that an insect-type was inside :D
Yes.. there must be a way out. Maybe she'll find it in a future post -- if i feel like setting her free that is! Guahahahaa!
