Original Apple

A team of scientists successfully teleported an apple, but it appeared to have a bite taken out of it.

The bite revealed a worm that reared its head.

"Everyone else like it," the worm said, clearly and loud enough for the entire team to hear.

"Everyone?" asked Eve Fleshpot, the chief temporal reconciliation actuator and team leader.

"Well, there were only two people back then, but yes, everyone. In a manner of speaking."

"How'd it taste? I love apples," mumbled Adam Beanconter, the project comptroller.

"It was good. So good," said the vermiform stowaway. "You should try it. It'll explain a lot."

"If I do that, worm, and I don't like it, can I take it back?"

"I'm afraid not. You'll have to pay it forward."
