Strange Aftertaste Part One

What intrigued him wasn't the taste of those fruits, but a strange medicinal smell that escaped from them. He grabbed a round apple shaped fruit that was in front of him; his skin nearly slipped on the glossy surface of the fruit, and the light coming from the chandelier was reflected on its smooth surface.

He approached the purple fruit to his nose and sniffed a few times before his eyes opened in surprise. Without any hesitation, he bit through the glossy skin of the fruit and munched a few times before swallowing. Waves of surprise washed his body as not only the fruit wasn't hard to consume, nearly turning into a liquid from just a few chews—with a fresh and chilling sensation spreading through his body.
