 A single rotten apple with flies feasting on its succulent body; decays the entire ensemble of robust apples, 

 
A single stain of black dye sprawling rampantly; spoils the beauty of the entire white fabric, 
 
A single hole in its heavy and metallic body; uncouthly drowns the entire ship, 
 
A single stream of venom oozing gently; contaminates the entire river of impeccable milk, 
 
A single bit of sewage smelling fetidly; annihilates the beauty of the entire garden laden with blossoming petals, 
 
A single virus in the blood stream; metamorphoses the individual from rubicund and healthy to insane and sick, 
 
A single particle of dandruff loitering in animosity; pollutes the entire conglomerate of lustrous and shining hair, 
 
A single nail overgrown and dirty; imperils the look of the entire palm embossed with mystical lines, 
 
A single dark cloud in the cosmos; adulterates the entire sky which is blue and 
crystal clear, 
 
A single town clock running late; delays the life of the entire city; with most of the people yawning as the sun crept up in brilliant afternoon, 
 
A single loophole in the house; entices the entire team of burglars to maraud at will; pilfer stealthily through closed doors at night, 
 
A single crack in the bone; foments the entire leg to walk in contorted pain; limp across the road for mercy, 
 
A single spark of white electricity; electrocutes the entire family; triggering the house to explode in volatile fury, 
 
A single crease in the crisp shirt; debases the entire demeanor which was otherwise quite sparkling and flawless, 
 
A single snore thunderously emanating; breaks the silence of tranquil and 
blissful sleep, 
 
A single shiver down the petrified spine; engenders the snake to pierce its lethal fangs and bite, 
 
A single stroke of stringent red; disturbs the harmony of the otherwise splendid marksheet, 
 
A single lie spoken; condemns a person beyond all anecdotes of his honesty, 
 
And a single devil in the mind; not only ruins all the sanctity previously existing; but also finishes a person in mind, body and eternal soul.
