Trust the nose.  Trust the nose.  Trust the nose.  Said it a million times and probably say it a million more.  It didn’t smell sweet and she shouldn’t have eaten it.  But now the belly was roiling and sweet gas was brewing and it would be a long night.  Sherrit knew how to shop only by smell.  She could press the flesh of the tomato but to smell the divots where the fruit once hung from the vine, that told her everything she needed to know about whether to put her money on the line.  Organic produce cost a heavy chunk of the monthly funds but that didn’t exempt them from turning funky in the  fridge.
