Brian gaped, his mouth opening and closing like a fish as he tried to think of a good reason to be spared. He looked at Tyler’s lips, partially open as Tyler breathed in and out, hot waves of his breath wafting over Brian. In the shadows Brian could see the back of Tyler’s throat, and he watched in aroused terror as a bit of excess saliva was reflexively swallowed down.
Brian shuddered. As hot as the notion was, Brian would much rather be out here witnessing Tyler gulping down lives than be another statistic stewing in his gut. “Tyler, w-we’re friends, you don’t wanna eat me.”
Tyler shrugged, a playful, uncaring grin forming on his face. “I dunno little bug, seems like we’re on a whole different plane of existence now. The strong eats the weak after all.”
“B-but I made you big! I can get some more serum!” You pleaded, flailing wildly as Tyler brought you slowly closer to his mouth.
“So can I, I’ll just raid your fridge next.” Tyler snickered. He raised you above his head, letting you dangle above his maw like a bunch of grapes. “Thanks for the boost runt. Now you get to give me a boost again by becoming protein for my powerful frame!” Tyler patted his gut, which was still rumbling loudly, digesting the payload inside and eagerly freeing up space for you.
Tyler released his grip on you, letting you fall onto his tongue that was rolled out like a red carpet. Quickly Tyler snapped his teeth shut, swishing you around for a moment to get a sampling of your flavor and chuckle at the sensation of you trying to steady yourself as he easily tossed you about. You were no different than a piece of steak to him, and so small a morsel that Tyler didn’t even need to chew; in less than a minute Tyler was done with you, tossing you to the back where his throat muscles took hold and swallowed you down. You screamed, horrified as soon after you were dropped into the churning cat of acids, quickly digesting just like poor souls who came before you.
Tyler burped, rubbing his belly as he felt first a brief flurry of struggles, then the dying down as Brian was turned into nothing more than nutritious goop. “Yup, I was right, you felt just like the other insects.” Tyler teased, having no respect left for any creatures smaller than his hand.
