I wonder who is gurgling away in there tonight? Imagine being an inch tall, crowded and clamoring over people your same current size. The thick plastic walls holding you in barely move as you push against the enclosure. After a seemingly endless amount of time trying to figure out why you’re there and how to get out, a huge jostling motion pulls your entire prison upwards. A huge mouth below the entrance of the thick plastic enclosure grins at you and your new acquaintances. Though you’ve only known each other in your worst moments of terror, a sense of comradeship was shared between you. A collective gasp into silence met you all as the huge grin seemingly filled the sky. The great mouth slowly opened as your landscape began to tilt forward. A few of the people beside you became unbalanced in the shuffle, despite being packed upon each other like sardines. Eventually, the tilt was too great, and one person tumbled forward, desperately grasping at arms and legs, barely missing and plummeting down. Down. Down towards the eager mouth below. With a greedy, “gulp”, they were gone. Vanished behind that skirmish grin. You realized this evening was not going to go by uneventfully. Your heart pounded in your chest. But there were hundreds of you. How much could one lady eat?
