Life Cycle

The cracked walls started pushing inwards. I heard the creature’s laugh as I started to panic. The walls were getting even closer now, and I could make out sharp metal spikes on each side, all thirsty for my blood. There was no escape. The walls started closing in, blood spilling down my face and creeping out from the sides of my eyeballs. My limbs were being shredded to bits, but I couldn't feel a thing. Fire shot out from the ceiling and my skin started sizzling. The stench was unbearable; I was just un-dead meat. “Yummy,” the creature yelled and laughed hysterically. I had died but I wasn’t dead. The walls expanded again and my body was lying on the floor like roadkill. The creature shoveled my bits from the ground and devoured me, licking the floor to get the ‘sauce’. I saw his stomach acids eating at my flesh. Inside him it smelled like dead humans and human feces. I started coming out the other end. Now I am a puppy.
