Rot Report: The Banana on the Counter Has Entered Government

Day six. The banana now appears to be administering a small agency.

PRESS FOR REASSURANCE

Too late. You are already reading Broken Zine.

DAY 1: Yellow. Hopeful. Structurally sound.

DAY 3: Freckles. A little soft. Still believes in breakfast.

DAY 5: Brown areas merge into voting blocs.

DAY 6: The banana has established a Department of Internal Sweetness and issued three memoranda.

DAY 7: Nobody is sure who authorized the flies.

We recommend immediate breadification or transfer to the freezer, where all abandoned bananas go to await a future smoothie that will never come.
