“I don’t doubt that,” sighed Fuen.

“What’s that?” asked Spectre.

“Red put Red Bull in his coffee this morning instead of water,” sighed Serpent.

“I know,” replied Sprite.

“While standing in that field,” pointed out Spectre.

Sprite sighed. “I just want a change.”

“Have you actually tried any GM foods?” asked Serpent.

“Oh yes,” said Red. “I had a lovely leg of salmon the other day.”

Serpent winced.

“Oh, I didn’t mind math class,” said Red.

“It was just numbers and numbers,” moaned Spectre.
