I never imagined it would end this way, yet here I am, completely trapped, frantically trying to delay the inevitable knowing it to be inevitable. Dangling over a hungry predator, just waiting for me to slip and plummet right down his throat. What was most infuriating was how this came to pass. I knew I could never be the biggest guy forever, but to be claimed by a man who I know I could gulp down in an instant on level ground, yet in my futile position was completely at the mercy of. Was there really a point to holding on? Looking up at me it was clear he recognized the uniqueness of our situation in this moment. A once in a lifetime opportunity that warranted patience. He probably also figured that were he not to claim me on this platform now, he would find himself in my own stomach before the night was over. He was right about that too. There was no escape for me, strength meant nothing when outwitted, so I hollered down to him below. “Bon appetite, fucker!” I called out, closing my eyes and letting go. I felt the wind rush by my skin for a second in freefall before my feet were stopped by the fleshy walls of his stomach. At least I had a good run.
