mystery fruit

             I am sitting at my desk with the fruit I've chosen placed directly in front of me. I've placed a pen and plenty of paper to right, which enables me to record all of my observations. Using all four of my senses (sight, touch, smell, and taste) as well as my thoughts throughout this exercise, I will try to make it clear what fruit I have chosen.

Upon rotating the fruit clockwise, I notice one large gash moving vertically along the side. As I continue rotating I count three more scars similar to the first.
             I then look at it from a birds eye view, and I become aware of a perfectly round indentation at the highest point of the fruit. After a moment of thought I conclude that a stem once covered this small opening, but because of poor treatment, it has been separated from the fruit.

Strangely the fruit begins to take on another image; it begins to resemble a large eye. The actual cavity becoming the pupil while the slightly bruised area surrounding the "pupil" becomes the "iris". I see this eye looking at me suspicious of why I'm just staring at it, telling me "Stop staring at me! If you're going to eat me just do it!&...
