The first time she used her powers to eat a man, it was not a mistake, and not a trick. It was a mistake, and a trick. She ate a man. She killed a man. She made a man disappear from the world. She didn't know it then, but killing a man with your powers, you know, that is not a mistake. You know that. It's a trick.

She ate a man.

She ate the first man she ate. She ate the second man who had come out of nowhere. She ate her father with a few bites. Her brother took the time to eat one man, for no reason. He ate one of his friends and ate another of his friends. He took the time. She felt it. She heard it. He ate people. He ate a dozen people in a day.

They ate a thousand people.

They ate one man. It took them five million years. It took them four minutes to eat a man.
