LAST UGLY VEGETABLE

              "What a beautiful view", I was thinking standing in my balcony enjoying the cold weather with a box of large cheesy overloaded pizza.
              As I opened my box of happiness, I discovered many unevenly shaped tiny vegetables drowning in the ocean of cheese, pleading me to save their life, "No superhero will be coming to save you from me, I will munch last tiniest one of you, Huhahaha!", keeping the box on the table as I went to grasp the ketchup bottle leaving them horrified.
              “Will we survive?” cried the onion, leading a outburst of fear among other vegetables swimming here and there to save their lives.
              “Everyone please calm down and stay strong, we have seen our brothers and sisters getting smashed, boiled and peeled to death! What more can this cruel beings do to us?” as Mr. Tomato was consoling his fellow vegetables, a sharp blade cut him through dividing the base into equal parts, “surprise – surprise – surprise!  Did I miss anything? Talking to my miniatures while unable to decide which piece I should eat first.
                “Mom save me!” screamed the baby corn as I picked my piece and took my first bite.
                 “Someone save my child” wept mother corn seeing her baby corn getting chewed in my mouth, “it is divine!” told my mind relishing on the wonderful taste of pizza.
                  “How could you do this to a kid? Don’t you have a heart? I curse you will not be able to digest us ending up in severe diarrhea!” swearing to me while moaning on her child’s death.
                 “Ha-ha! You will meet up with the same fate as your kid” as I picked up my next piece.
                “Grab my hand Mrs. Corn, I will save you” told a little bell pepper who could not save himself. I took bite after bite munching the farm fresh vegetables and liquid cheese oozing out. This is the yummiest pizza I ever had, perfect sauce and a great amount of cheese, talking to myself picking up the last piece from the box.
                 But this time it was something unusual as I was unable to hear any voice after picking up my last piece, “what happened? You guys don’t want to plead for your life? Come on, I will wait, come up with your last wish”. I told them while stuffing the piece in my mouth trying to gulp as I overfed myself.
                   As I cleaned all the mess and went to dump the empty box I heard a thin voice “please eat me, don’t leave me alone to die here in this dark box”. I was keen to know what I left behind and soon found out it was a tiny little mushroom I threw out of my pizza.
                 “Die alone you one ugly last vegetable” I replied throwing the box in my dustbin.
