Fig Observations

Entry 1:

This fig is very sad and somber. I feel bad for it because it is quite plump and very misshapen and lopsided. It can’t even sit up straight on its own. It’s very squishy so I think it is relatively old. It’s also a very dark purplish reddish brown color which adds to the sadness of it. One side is brighter than the other so it might need to see some more sun. I wonder why the outside is sticky. I’m not sure if its ripe or ready to eat because it is green and yellow towards the stem area at the top. Why does it have lines running down the side? I hope it has lived a long and prosperous life because it might go rotten soon.

Entry 2:

Today the fig is even more soft and squishy, though I guess it has just been sitting on my kitchen counter for the past 24 hours. It’s kind of like if a human sits around all day and does nothing they will become soft and squishy like this fig. Although I’m curious to see what it looks like on the inside, I don’t really want to perform surgery and cut the fig open. I’m sure the fig wouldn’t want to be cut open either. That sounds pretty painful. Other than the softness the fig really hasn’t changed a whole lot since yesterday. I guess that’s a good thing because the color of it means it isn’t rotten yet.
