Not Easy

You know, humans think that nagas have it easy. We can eat anything edible, and we have superior physical abilities. Truth be told, it’s not as easy as you’d think.

Sure, we can swallow living things whole. Sure, we can move fast and have amazing reflexes. But at the end of the day?

Sometimes we just get eaten.

Now, in most cases we survive, as we’re near impossible to digest. Not sure why, but every member of my family has escaped a predator’s belly. Of course, sometimes those predators are other nagas, and in this case, that holds true.

I struggled within the fleshy prison, but not very effectively. The one who’d made me his prey had a very tight stomach, which made movement difficult. It didn’t help that he was probably younger than me, and as such smaller. I wiggled and squirmed, but all that accomplished was satisfying my captor.

“Just keep struggling,” came his voice. “It won’t help you.”

I laid back and sighed. As much as I hated to admit it…

He was right.

How am I gonna get out of this?…
