Man Eating Durians

One might be mistaken if they were thinking of gigantic man-eating durians, but unfortunately, or fortunately for us, that is not the case. One can only imagine a 50 foot Durian intent on consuming people... Wait, there would be a retraction I suppose, as there is not only A 50 foot Durian, there are TWO 50 foot Durians. Yes, you heard me...

In the concrete jungle of south south east asia.. there lies the fabled twin oval durians.. Some tales speak of them as being created by magic workers for the sole purpose of music. Late at night, music seems to waft (if music wafts) , from the belly of the durians. This music is said to lure people to step into the mouth of the durians and they would then be forever changed.. or lose their money for the night. Indeed, the country where these durians have come to roost (if durians roost), is losing millions of dollars keeping the durians safe and clean..

The twin durians are said to lay prickly eggs or baby durians by the thousands each day. They are affectionately known as durians, but some people would call certain durians with specific traits, as D24 or XO. People would then consume the flesh contained within the hard shell of the durians out of anger, by using a knife and chopping at the weak spots of the durians till it opens. Some people swears by the taste of the durian flesh, saying it is creamy, delicious, mouthwatering, while some says the durians give off a pungent smell. Rumours have it that one would have to eat the durians 3 times to acquire the taste. Indeed such violent behaviour could be called mutual understanding for now, for both humans and durians can exist together, albeit in a weird relationship, in south south east asia..
