       Story #14
       Green Peppers
       Freezer ice had melted into grey beards grown on what was once
       bread. I pulled at a plastic bag; its bottom emptied. Out fell
       putrid slime.
       I smelled damp; cabbage; urine. I remembered stacking the fridge
       head-high with healthy tomatoes, butter and cream from the
       farmers’ market; bright root vegetables.
       Your fridge magnet still spelled: ‘dinners in oven’. It was a
       disaster of a lasagne, but I probably shouldn’t have flattened
       your skull with a mortar because of it.
       I had told you I didn’t like green peppers.
       After six years in Holloway, I had learnt to appreciate their
       taste.
