"I'm not prey" green tomatoes said quietly.
Even though she is scared because even before they plucked her when she isn't ripe yet.
She perceived something must be wrong somewhere.
She wanted to see her sister one more time before performing her duty.
If only they didn't pluck her before her time, she could have joined her batch.
Now, she is in the basket waiting patiently and hoping to see her join them soon.
The owner picked out a handful, and keeps her aside whenever she is mistakenly picked.
Then, she started murmuring gently dancing to the song playing as she washed all selected.
Before they all started screaming and slashing.
She stopped, turned down the music and went to the door and carried a basket.
She dropped it and started placing them gently on the big basket where she was kept as well.
"The new set are here" she eagerly started to look for her sister.
She checked and checked as she continued to drop them in fours, threes, and two's but couldn't find her sister.
She turned to rest well where she was placed then she felt a tap on her shoulder.
She turned to see her sister, she hugged her happily.
Both of them shared tears of joy.
Then, she accepted.....now it would be my turn.
Thanks for reading.
