What if I were tiny and someone found me and kept me captive to observe me and learn about tinies?
They keep me in a box and from time to time take me out to catalogue everything about me. How light I am in their palm. How much I shake when their face draws close. How easy it if for them to immobilize me with just their fingers.
Eventually, they start to wonder what I taste like...
They sometimes catch whiffs of my natural scent up close and I can see their mouth start to water in curiosity. They start with small (for them) licks before they lose patience and eventually encase me in their mouth. I'm tossed around their mouth for hours while they take note of every flinch, whimper, and shove at their tongue as it bats me around. It goes on so long that my head is hazy and my body is exhausted. It would be so easy for them to swallow me...
And then I'm spat out into a palm, their saliva chilling me at the abrupt change in temperature. They roughly clean me with a rag and I am tossed back into my box to dread what comes tomorrow.
