4. Clementines in Bag, 3.5 lb
By Clementine
$7.50
My brother, James, visited me yesterday. He found me in my library, sitting in the darkness, surrounded by my many clementine peels. He boiled me a cup of tea with a few drops of laudanum, which soothed my nerves. We sat together in silence; I could not bear to speak, and he knew not what to say. After a time, he departed and I walked to my computer and returned to Amazon.com, and ordered Clementines in Bag, 3.5 lb by Clementine $7.50. They were not Prime eligible, but I believe that when they arrive they will fill the gaping wound left in my heart by the passing of my dear, sweet Joanna.

By Grocery Produce Supply
$9.41
Some weeks later, I heard a knock upon my door. I opened it and found James, with two men from a sanitarium standing behind him. They had come to take me to away. I packed my things somberly — and by things I mean the order of Fresh Orange Small Clementine 3 Pounds by Grocery Produce Supply $9.41 that had been delivered just that morning by a frightened postman. I wrapped them, gently, in fresh linen, hiding them from any harmful bug, air, or gaze, as I wish I could have hidden my dear Joanna from Death’s cold and inevitable grasp.

By Fresh Food

Now I sit in my small, dark sanitarium cell. Through the barred window streams light and I can hear the sound of a robin chirping its sweet song. I know not how long I have been here –- I have grown a beard and my hair has become shaggy and flea-invested — but other than that I have lost all sense of time. Next to me, on my small, simple bed sits Clementine Produce [Bulk]
By Fresh Food Price Unspecified. I lay down, next to the bag of sweet fruit, pulling it close to me. The orange globes nestle into my arms, and I sigh, then whisper, “How I have missed you, Joanna.”
