She Was So Happy When Her Baby Boy Was Born… But Then He Wouldn’t Stop Eating
By Sean Seebach
“Crawl baby, crawl!” said Lobster Boy.
Bobby pulled himself to his knees and busted through the burning wreckage, sending splinters of wood across the trailer. His mouth hung open. Thick drool coated his body, protecting him from the flames.
Lobster Boy struck first, stuffing his fleshy digits inside Buddy’s mouth, twisting and turning them as Buddy gagged on the meaty hand.
“You wanna feed, Buddy?” Lobster Boy said. “Are you hungry too?” Further and further his hand went down, reaching Buddy’s throat. He yanked his bloodied claw from Buddy’s pie hole and shoved him into the arms of Strong Man. Strong Man grabbed a hold of Buddy by his neck and lifted him several feet into the air.
“What are you gonna do?” Buddy said in between breaths. “Kill me?”
A smirk stretched across Strong Man’s face as he heaved Buddy into the pen, now a roasting camp fire. The flames roared as Buddy’s cheap flannel went ablaze.
