Magic Banana?

bzarcherOn my way out of Lowry from lunch, I grabbed a banana. I had that banana in my hands until I got into my car.
But when I got out of my car, the banana was gone.
Now, there are a few explanations for this. First is that I'm a klutz and probably just dropped it. And you'd like to think that, wouldn't you? But I know the truth. This was a magic banana, and not meant to be eaten. And when it understood that I was taking it for a mid-afternoon snack, it tore a portal open through time and space and disappeared, perhaps destined to become part of a still life in someone's art class.
Or, if it was truely special, this was a Fortean banana, quantumly unstable and incapable of remaining in one plane of existance for more than a short time before disappearing and re-appearing somewhere else. And perhaps, perhaps I was one of those few blessed to have actually held such a mythic fruit before it left this plane, perhaps never to return.
Regardless, a quite remarkable piece of fruit.
