#shrunken perspective

They stood before me, trembling slightly but still too curious for their own good. "Are you sure?" I asked with a sinister smile, my voice shook the ground beneath them. "Once you come with me, there’s no coming back."

They hesitated for only a moment before nodding, their fate sealed. I started plucking them from the ground and bringing them up to my mouth.

I let them slide past my lips, their tiny form slipping over my tongue and down into the dark abyss of my throat. As they fell into my stomach, I could feel their struggle, a futile attempt to escape what was already inevitable.

Inside my belly, the walls began to tighten around them, the heat and pressure building as they sank deeper into my digestive system. Their fate was sealed. They would be digested slowly, their body broken down to nothing more than fuel for me, consumed completely by the time I had finished.

There would be no release, no escape, no second chance. Once they entered my belly, they were nothing more than food. And as they slowly began to dissolve, I couldn’t help but savor the thrill of it all—their screams and struggles were nothing but the sweet echoes of their final moments, fading into the dark, never to be heard again.
