Chewing and swallowing is a hassle. I wish it weren't taboo to cut open my stomach and insert the meal through the wound. Nothing would go to waste. Mastication is unsightly. It rots your mind and teeth. It tears and mashes what you love into paste, leaving nothing but bones. At least **** the marrow dry. Would you eat something someone else spat out? You are food too. You are slathered in someone else's slime. I try to slice away the mold that consumes him but the mold is all over. Even a little bit of mold on a treat like him is a sign that it's everywhere, that it's toxic, but I keep carving away, believing there is something that can be salvaged.
