"That's... me?" I asked my dad. We were hanging out the day after my sister's wedding, and he wanted to reminisce. We looked their childhood photo albums for her and me. But then he started showing me pictures I didn't remember. They were obviously of me. My face, my body, my birthmark. And I've seen dad try to use photoshop. He has to watch a youtube tutorial just to add a new layer.
"Those are from 25 years ago," he said. But that didn't make sense because he looked the same age and I was only 24.
"The great jokester," I said. "You got me."
"I did, yeah." He flipped the page, and there was a series of photos of him unhinging his jaw and shoveling me into his throat. "This is me getting you." After a few minutes of silence, he flipped the page again, and there was a massive photo of his massive gut resting on the sink. "And this is when I had you." He whispered that directly into my ear.
A shiver ran up my spine. I wasn't afraid. I should have been, but I wasn't. I couldn't tell what the shiver was from. "That's... me?"
"Want to see what happens when meat gets caught by the big bad dad?" Without waiting, he turned the page in the photo album again, and there was the toilet, filled to the brim. A pair of glasses stuck out a pile, the same type I'd worn all my life.
"Gross," I said. "Very funny."
But Dad grabbed me by the jaw. "I don't joke about food," he said. "That's your future. And your past. Sometimes I send you to the sewer. Sometimes I piss you out in the yard. Sometimes I nut you over a twink's face. Then it's time to start all over again. But it's always you. You're the only family I eat."
"Always?" I ask. Despite myself, the weirdness, the depravity, I'm hard. Leaking. Needy.
"302 years and counting," Dad said. "Figure your sister getting married is a good a time as any to eat my favorite meal."
He wasn't lying, I would find out, as over the course of the next eight hours, I went from his son to getting flushed away...
