I had had enough of mutated teenaged green ninjas
or men rated 'X'. Hollywood seemed rather ___1___
with all these strange mutated creatures,
derogatively known as 'freaks'. I ___2___
to stare at another mutated or genetically modified
thing anymore.
Feeling rather famished, I made my way to the
nearby supermarket. The neat rows of fresh fruit
captured my ___3___.
Mmmm... Delicious yellow bananas. They were
perfectly yellow with hardly a ___4___.
I did not like those small, overripe bananas with
the familiar black spots at the wet markets. After a
while, the little irritating fruit flies would
appear ___5___
around these bananas. However, to my delight, the
bananas I found in the supermarkets were normally
free from these irritating pests. So, I grabbed a ___6___
for a snack later.
Oh ! I could not resist the seedless grapes too !
Whoever thought of seedless grapes must be really ___7___.
At least, I no longer had to spit out the seeds like
a machine gun ! So, in went a bunch into my basket
too.
Armed with healthy snacks, I decided to pay my
favorite fish shop a visit. The aquamarine tanks
never fail to sooth my nerves. I peered at my
favorite -- ___8___.
They were beautiful. With their bulging eyes and
fan-like tails, I chuckled quietly as they swaggered
unhurriedly around the tanks. Funny, but I always
wonder where the suppliers caught all these
goldfish. I had never ___9___
of someone catching goldfish in streams or rivers.
After the short stop, I made my way home. The hot
sun was making me a little dizzy and my vision ___10___.
Lately, I had not been feeling too well. My body had
been burning ___11___
and was aching all over. I decided to pay my general ___12___
a visit that very moment.
An hour later, I had my temperature checked and
for once, my usual ___13___
doctor seemed rather harried. A few more frantic
checks and I was immediately sent to the hospital
for further observation. He mumbled about a certain
new ___14___ of
flu. Quietly, I cursed my luck ! What was the world
evolving to ?
I stood up, ready to hail a taxi to the hospital
when I was hurriedly ___15___.
An ambulance would end me there instead. |
