BURNING QUESTIONS IN A UNIVERSE OF MYSTERY #63:

 

Want some brownies?


I can't possibly eat 'em all by myself.


You should have at least one.


Mom's recipe.


Imbued with her love.


No?


Don't want to ruin dinner, eh?


Makes sense.


Well . . . maybe I can make this work all by myself.


Eyes retract deep inside skull. Sharp teeth wrigglepierce their way out of the meats rimming the sockets. Nostrils distend with a crackle of cartilage as new teeth manifest there, too. Drool pours from the four new mouths. A dense wall of fart noises as new stomachs bloom within the abdomen. 


There we go. 


Heh . . . now all these brownies don't seem like much.


Less of a gorge, more of a snack.


You turn away from the feast, glad to have a prior appointment.
