Forbidden Fruit
Wandering around in the small hours of the morning, my brain completely pan-fried on magic mushrooms, I decided it would be fun to go and look at the ocean as the sun came up. Oooh, look at the pretty colours! I'm sure sunrises aren't usually purple and green, but whatever. Now I'm just wandering around the beach, giggling at my inability to cope with ground that moves when I step on it.

I round the corner of a building at the edge of the beach. And stop dead, entirely unable to cope with what I'm seeing.

I'd wandered up to the back of a fairground, and was confronted with a very realistic red and yellow apple, which was completely normal apart from being six metres high. From the other side, I later discovered, a caterpillar-themed kiddie roller coaster weaved in and out of holes in the apple; but at that moment I simply stood and stared, probably for quite some time, at this unfeasably large fruit.*

* Actually, since this was near Dukes Mound in Brighton, there were probably quite a few unfeasably large fruits around...
