"Well then, Abigail, please please present your opening statement to the court. Why do you want to shrink and eat your step-father?” the judge asks.
"It's a complicated story, your honour. You see, I love my step-father very much. He took me in five years ago. He'd always wanted a child and I was in need of a family. I mean it when I say that he changed my life for the better. My mother had died and I was all alone. He'd been a friend to my mom and me and was desperate to help save me from having to go to a children's home. I'll always be thankful for what he has done for me."
"I see." the judge mulled. "And yet you want to eat him?"
Abigail nodded and looked at you, her radiant young face beaming with delight as she licked her lips.
“Your honour, just like every little girl, I’ve dreamed of shrinking and gobbling up guys for as long as I can remember. I’ve dreamed about eating most of the guys in my school but, with my step dad it’s different. You see, for the last five years it’s just been him and me. Sometimes, when I give him a kiss on the cheek, I get a little taste and it's like so intense! I know I probably shouldn’t say this, but he’s SO delicious!” Abigail is actually beginning to drool and pauses to lick her lips before she continues. “Anyway, it’s so difficult to resist but I always swore to myself that I’d never eat him out of respect for everything he’s done for me.”
“I quite understand. I must say that your restraint is commendable under the circumstances. As your step-father, he isn’t even related to you yet you’ve still shown him such consideration. He’s a very lucky man to have such a loving and considerate step-daughter. So what’s changed?” the judge asks.
“Vore Court is my favourite TV programme, your honour. I always watch it with my step dad. I know he finds it a bit… unsettling, but he takes the time to watch it with me anyway. I like to curl up on the sofa with him. Anyway, the other week there was an episode with a girl who wanted to eat her boyfriend. She seemed like such a sweet girl but her boyfriend was panicking and got really rude.”
“I remember.” the judge said with a smile. “The look on his face when I reclassified him as food was priceless!”
Abigail laughed. “I KNOW! It was such a cool episode. Anyway, my step dad said that the guy was really rude. He told me that if I was ever the claimant on vore court, any guy should count himself lucky to be eaten by me. I told him I thought he was just saying that to make me feel better and I bet him he would feel different if he was the defendant.”
“I see.” the judge said, thoughtfully. “And what did he say to that?”
“OH, he was lovely, your honour. He told me that he would do anything for me and how flattered he would be if I wanted to eat him. I was so thrilled! Then, later, we were having dinner and I couldn’t help but notice the way he was watching me eat. We were having a prawn dish and he just couldn’t take his eyes off me, watching each mouthful disappear into my mouth. It was kind of a thrill because I just knew he was remembering our conversation from earlier. I know it was a bit naughty of me, but I couldn’t resist teasing him for the rest of the meal. I did feel kinda sorry for him because he looked so embarrassed and uncomfortable, but I could see he was excited at the thought of me eating him, and that just made me more excited too. That’s really all there is too it, your honour. I’m asking you to reclassify my step-dad as food because nothing would make me happier than swallowing him alive. I think that’s what brought us together in the first place. I think I’m destined to eat him!”
“Thank you Abigail. This is an interesting case and it would seem a shame to deprive you of the opportunity to gobble up your step father. I certainly agree that the defendant does, indeed, look particularly delicious and it seems it would be in his best interests as well. This is a court of law and I am obliged to ensure that we follow due process.” With that, the judge turns to face you.
“You have heard the claimant’s request and you may now respond. I caution you to choose your words with care. I appreciate that these proceedings can be very upsetting for our defendants but we expect you to speak respectfully at all times. If I do not like your tone, I shall have no hesitation in granting the claimant’s request. Now, you've heard what your step-daughter has to say. It seems to me that she has an excellent case to have you reclassified as her food. What would you like to say at this stage?”
Option 1: You tell your side, explaining that Abigail is mistaken about your vore fetish
Option 2: You panic. You never expected Abigail to do this to you and only said what you said to make her feel better.
Option 3: You accept your fate and tell the court how much you love Abigail
