Red Lobsters by Evan Harris
I am a very happy lobster. I am living underneath my rock. Suddenly my rock begins to shake, and my rock is lifted away. A hand like claw comes down and grabs me. The creature has some kind of breathing system. Soon I am thrown into a basket filled with other lobsters. We are brought to the surface. When I awake I am in a clear container. Just as soon as I awoke I was picked up and throw across the room. I am dumped into a boiling hot pot of water. I begin to scream. When I am lifted out I am bright red. I am cracked open and eaten. I am crushed by white rocks. (Teeth) A long pink thing that is soaking wet tosses me around. (Tongue) There is a tube at the back. I began to go down. (Esophagus) Wave like motions push me down the dark tube. (Peristalsis) I am dropped into a large tank with bubbly acid. (Stomach) (Gastric juices) Now an opening opens and I pass through. Green and yellow juices are squirted at me. (Liver) (Pancreas) (Gull bladder) (Small intestines) (Bile) (Pancreatic juices) I travel down the tube. Finger like things grab at me. (Villi) I make my way through what seems like miles of tunnels and tubes. I get to and opening, a very large tube. (Large intestines) I feel like all my water is soaked up. (Absorption) All my energy is gone. I am turned into a turd. I am moved and the waves begin again. (Rectum) Then I am dropped into a bowl of water and flushed away. (Anus)
