#13 - Poisonroot Chapter 8

Off to one side, a the black fruit was lying on the ground. Trip stood and walked over, stooping to pick it up. 

It was like a small wrinkled apple, though its skin was quite firm, and as it lay in his hand he began to feel warmth coming from it; he held it for a moment and felt a sort of ripple running through its skin. It pulsed, like a beating heart...

A chapter of Poisonroot, a fantasy novel. After an investigation, Trip and Victor find that all is not what it seems.
