"So, anyway I didn't mean to
swallow him… it was accidental I had him in my mouth and I changed my mind and
I was going to spit him out and then, I dunno he did something, he kicked me in
the back of my mouth, here,” she opened her mouth wide and pointed at her
uvula, they all peered inside Ruby’s mouth looking. Millie shuddered at seeing
inside her friends mouth and imagining being shrunken in there and completely
out of her own control.
“And what he did made me accidentally
swallow him, out of reflex, and by the time I realised what had happened he was
already travelling down my throat and then into my stomach…”
"You could have stuck your
fingers down your throat and sicked him up!" Millie growled in a
judgemental tone.
"She's been judging me for
like two days now. Anyway, this guy wanted to be eaten, it was like his whole
life dream or something. Like an ultimate fantasy,” Ruby shrugged nonchalantly.
“Who am I to stand in his way?”
“It’s against the law, is what it
is!” Millie frowned.
“Can one of you speak sense…
would you eat someone for $350,000 dollars?" Ruby asked looking at Rosie
and Henry.
"Fuck me!" Henry nearly
fell off his chair in surprise. "$350,000 dollars?"
"Well $354,000 to be
precise," Ruby smirked, blushing.
"Woah," Rosie stated in
surprise. "Okay… I'm completely on Ruby's side on this one…" she
glanced at Henry nervously, with a 'how much do we tell them?' look.
He decided to lead the charge in
driving the discussion forwards.
"I mean, I would swallow
someone for free, especially if they begged me to do it," he said with a wicked
chuckle.
"Henry!" Millie gave
him a judgemental stare.
"What?" He put his
hands in the air, "If someone begged me and said it was their life fantasy
and they were already shrunken down… you know,"
"Meat's meat," Rosie
nodded in agreement with a knowing smile.
"Eeww!" Millie cried
out. "You fricking meat eaters are sick, what's wrong with you? These are
human beings we're talking about," she protested. “It’s illegal… and its
gross too!”
"Well, are they still human
being if they are shrunken down? Are they still actually classified as humans?
There is new legislation that has come through and they have reclassified
humans as a certain height and size, above one foot tall I think, anything else
below is… 'shrinkies'," he raised his fingers into inverted commas.
“Yeah,” Ruby nodded in agreement.
“See? Its legal!” she looked defiantly at Millie.
“It wasn’t legal when you did it
during Covid!” Millie growled. Ruby merely shrugged.
"I can't believe this… so,
if I was shrunken down what would you guys do to me, like right
now?" Millie asked with genuine concern.
They all went quiet,
thoughtfully.
"Henry?" Millie asked,
her eyes were big and round and slightly angry looking.
"Henry?" Millie
prompted again with a bit more urgency.
"Oh sorry, err… I dunno. I
haven't thought about it, why, what would you do if I were shrunken down?"
Henry spun the question on its head.
Millie looked taken aback and her
eyes widened.
"Nothing… I would gently
pick you up, cup you in my hands and look after you…"
"Hahaha," Ruby laughed
heartily. "Yeah right… like you did with Rob?"
"Shut it Ruby," Millie
gritted her teeth threateningly.
"What?" Ruby held her
hands up defensively. "You blurted out what I've done!"
Millie grimaced, crossing her
arms angrily.
"Go on, tell us," Rosie
prompted with a beaming smile, sensing a dirty little secret.
