A huge flash spread from the red orb that enveloped the entire room. You raised your hands to shield your vision while Kyle closed his eyes all together.

The light was so bright that your eyes had to recover for a moment.

The first thing you immediately noticed was that you felt almost paralyzed. For some reason you could no longer move your arms or legs. It isn't long before you realize that you can't use any of your muscles at all.

"A... am I really paralyzed?" You think to yourself how tragic this is. The idea of being bound to a wheel chair, drinking food from a tube. You were terrified.

Though, you suddenly realized that something...... was off.

Luckily, you're still able to see.

"Is it just my eye muscles that work?" You think to yourself as you scan the room.

"Wait... why am I on top of my machine.?"

It's difficult to get a good look without moving, but you're clearly seated on the large device.

After thinking it over for a few seconds, you come to a horrifying revelation.

"I can't move my arms and legs because..... I don't have any..."

"The reason I'm on the machine...is.. is"

You then notice the mirror across the room

Reflecting back at you, positioned on the exact platform that you were now on top of.....was the apple.

"I TURNED INTO AN APPLE?!?"

"how can I even see?" you ponder to yourself as you continue your attempts to move.

You couldn't even budge a centimeter.

You're suddenly filled with optimism. You remember that in your calculations you deduced that the effects of the static pulse would revert the object's properties back it's original form as long as the subject remains under the radiation of the red bulb after a solid three minutes.

You sigh to yourself, almost having lost all hope.

"Well, I guess I just need to play the waiting gam--"

Your thought process is interrupted when you notice your little brother burst out from the pillows on your bed.

"K-KYLE?! What are you doing here!?!" you attempted to shout, which was impossible without a mouth or respiratory system.

You could only watch as he got out of bed and looked around the room.

"He must not have realized what happened to me! boy.. is he going to be surprised when I turn ba-."

Just as you were finishing your thought, Your kid-brother's eyes made contact with you.

You were shocked "Could there be something that happened to the apple's appearance that allows him to realize it's me?" You wonder as he steps closer.

"Don't worry Kyle, one more minute and I'll..-"

You were forced to stop again as you noticed your brother was now reaching for you

"Wait... KYLE WHAT ARE YOU DOING? WAIT HEY!"

You shout at the top of your non-existent lungs as your little brother's massive hand (from the perspective of an apple) gets closer.

"NO!!!! KYLE STOP! DON'T TOUCH ME! I NEED TO STAY HERE! KYYLEEEE!! STOOOOP!" you cried internally.

As your your brother's fingers began to wrap around you, your mind was in turmoil. The moment he moves you, you'll never be able to revert back.

"KYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYLLLLLLLLLE!!!" you made one last final scream as Kyle carelessly pulls you out from the machine without a thought in the world.

There you were, in the palm of your 10 year old brother's hand. An apple. You couldn't believe this.

You stared up at his smiling face as he began to examine you.

Your whole being was filled with regret. You'd never be a human ever again. Your mind was so busy processing the anguish of your situation that hadn't noticed your brother was making an odd face.

It was an expression that made you uneasy. It was almost like a look of anticipation.....no...that's not the word.

With a sudden movement, Kyle lowered his arm and began to rub you against his shirt.

"Wait, what is he doing?!"

You finally understand as you hear a loud grumbling from behind the fabric..

Your eyes look towards the clock. 1pm. Kyle's usual lunch time.

It was your job to make lunch for him.

He must have saw the apple and thought it was for .......

Your eyes shift to Kyle just in time to see his tongue trace across the outside of his lips.

"N-...no.!.." you can only watch with dread as he lifts you up to his face.

You now understood that the look in his eyes was hunger.

You scream in terror as you're now faced with your brother's open mouth.


"KYYYYLEEEE!!!!! STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!!----"


CHOMP

Though you didn't feel anything, it was as if a slice of your existence faded. Almost as if Kyle actually took a bite out of your life-force.

CHOMP

There was nothing you could do. It was bite after indulgent bite.

CHOMP
CHOMP
CHOMP

After each chomp he would chew and emit a loud wet gulp from the back of his throat.

Kyle must have been very hungry, for only a kid, he managed to take care of the apple in nearly two minutes.

By the time there was only a core left, your existence had been entirely consumed.

Kyle let out a small belch of satisfaction as he threw the core away into the waste bin. Completely unaware that if he had just waited another minute, his brother would have been able to return to his human form.

The boy walked out of the room happily with a full belly, licking the sweet apple juices off of his lips; Never knowing that he had just devoured his older brother's existence.

THE END.
