Ex-bananas Spell bound, Alexa carries a tomato box filled with bananas. She groans, "almost there", when a naughty baboon decides a banana would taste 'just fine' and tries to grab one. She thinks quickly and decides 'she won't win this one'. Too strong, too persistent, like a former lover who made her fall in love with the letter X. She tears off a couple and throws them, hoping... but the banana beggar wants the whole bunch. I'm dreaming she thinks, touches the mark on her forehead to summon her powers, closes eyes to candles, inhales the fragrance of clove, let's smoke carry her spell, banishing the baboon to another realm in another timeline. Then a tug brings her back to the present. She screams... because what else are anti-heroines supposed to do? She lets the bloody bold beggar have the bananas, opens the door and drives off in her car, glad she has escaped once more.
