Drabble Challenge #72

Prompt: organic

"The orange juice is fresh-squeezed?"

"Of course, sir."

"And the eggs?"

"Collected this morning from free-range chickens, then poached with sea salt and fresh herbs from the garden."

"And the toast?"

"Whole grain bread, with hand-ground almond butter and jam made from organic strawberries."

"No preservatives?"

"Definitely not, sir."

"You're sure that there's nothing artificial in any of this food?"

"I'm absolutely certain, sir."

He took a bite of toast, then gasped, "What... did you... do?"

"Don't worry, sir," the butler said, as his employer slumped forward onto the table, "I can assure you that I used only all-natural arsenic."
