When Nostri-Prime Xtreme went to market,
- When Nostri-Prime Xtreme went to market, he waited then sold his stocks at the crest and paid off the teenage physicists who helped retrofit his Airstream Bambi for space travel.
- He was enjoying the built in facilities of the Airstream Bambi in orbit around Mars when news flashed that Nostri-Prime stock had crashed & the founder (himself) had a bounty of
- Green tomatoes to keep him company as he cooked. Mr. Tomato and family loved to see the Andersons imitate the chefs on the Food Channel. One stew cost £200! What would they cook
- today? It was sort of a gruesome pleasure the Tomato family had watching the Andersons puree vegetables and make stew out of them.
- Better them than us, said Mr. Tomato to his family where they sat trapped in a woven basket. Coils of steam rose from the stock pot. He caught the scent of
- fresh basil. Looking around Mr. Tomato realized that someone was beginning to prep marinara sauce of which tomatoes were the primary ingredient.
- The chef was preoccupied with cutting up Ms. Garlic, who was already gone. Mr. Tomato silently mourned for his friend but took this opportunity to roll away to safety.
- “How long on the marinara?” came a cry from expo. "Crushing the tomatoes now," the chef bellowed. But Mr. Tomato was already halfway to the drain. He had to escape before the chef
- squished the sauce from his fleshy, crimson body. But there was nothing Mr. Tomato could do. In the grip of the chef, escape was an impossibility.
- As he saw the end approaching he began thinking about his family. Solanaceae. Then he remembered his leaves were slightly toxic and he rubbed them in Chef's eyes and escaped.

This was a thriller. I was worried the whole time for Mr. Tomato. I hope his family made it out ok.
