The Vetra's Voracious Tale

Hey y'all!  I guess I had sci-fi on my mind, because I wrote this weird short!  Tell me what you think of it! ^u^

So I’ve been captured.  How disappointing.

Well, get to it.  I’m sure you have plenty of experiments for aliens that land here.  Do your worst.

. . . You want to know about me?  How curious . . . but not surprising.  I assume whoever you work for wants information from me, to see what I’m doing here on Earth.  Very well—I will tell you how I came here.

I came here to eat, you see.  We Vetra love exotic new foods, and will travel across the galaxy to find them.  When I heard about tasty treats here on Earth, I just couldn’t resist.

The crash landing wasn’t planned, of course.  It was an unfortunate bit of thermodynamics, you see—a combustion in the engine.  So I landed in the middle of that small town, and woke up to screaming.

Now, I was very hungry.  I had flown here to eat, after all, and we don’t like being on an empty stomach.  So I grabbed the being standing in front of me, and examined him.

It was one of the humans I’d heard so much about.  An unsightly, bipedal mammal, who had adapted to overtake all other creatures on Earth.  You couldn’t tell by looking at the sample I’d caught—it was terrified, and squirming in my grasp.

All the others had run away.  But not this one.  This one just /had/ to see the alien that had landed.  “Curiosity killed the cat,” as you say here.

And I wasn’t going to waste any time.  It was time to eat.

I shoved the human into my mouth.  It screamed and flailed in my grasp, like a puppet trying to get loose from its strings.  But my grip held firm, and I clamped down on the meat with my toothless maw.

Oh great universe, the /taste/!  It filled my brain with endorphins, flooded my mouth with pleasure.  I wanted more—I /needed/ more, immediately.

I sucked, and let the whole treat slide right in my mouth, sealing my lips shut.  I squeezed my maw around the human, tasting that beautiful flavor, and lapped it up with my tongue.  My tongue’s tasting went from eager, to excited, to ravenous in just a minute, slurping up my prey as it struggled within me; I couldn’t get enough.

My stomach growled loudly, reminding me of my real need.  I truly was hungry, and if I was going to get any food, I needed to let this tasty treat travel to its destination.

I used my tongue to push the human back, until it was right at my throat’s waiting hole.  It realized what I was doing, and started to say, “No, no, WAIT!” but I didn’t care about any of its cries.  All I wanted was to send my meat where it truly belonged.

And so, I swallowed, and sucked the human into my esophagus.  It made a large bulge as it traveled down my throat, and I touched it, feeling my food squirm as it was sent ever downwards.  Finally, it landed in my stomach, which growled louder upon its entrance, an eager cry from my satisfied belly.  I let out a happy sigh and sat down on the ground, licking my lips to taste the lost flavor of the human.

Then my prey started to struggle.  I could feel it beating against my stomach walls, flailing this way and that, using all the physical force it could muster.  To me, all the ruckus resulted in a satisfying stomach massage, and I sighed in contentment as the prey fought within me.

But all fights run out eventually.  And soon, my food’s struggles slowed, and then stopped, as lack of oxygen made the human pass out.

I remember the grin that entered my face at that moment.  I had my first taste of human flesh, and every part of me was loving it.  Every part of me knew that I wanted to hunt these humans down, and devour all their tasty bodies one by one.

So, now you’ve heard my story, little prey.  And I do believe you’re next on the menu.  

Oh, you think this enclosure can really hold me?  I can break it in a second—just watch.

There!  Now, stay still, meat.

I’m sure you’ll be delicious.
