As the light spills inside your prison you realize you are surrounded by Cheerios. More accurately, you are one of the hundreds of loops inside a cereal box. From your perspective you can’t see anything but the box shakes as someone picks it up.

“Device timer reset and extended. 24 hours before recharge is available.” You hear the Inanimatron’s voice for a moment as you’re carried along.

You see yourself falling along with dozens of other Cheerios into a bowl and are buried under them. You feel the cold and wet feeling of milk being poured onto you, but several Cheerios are still above you keeping you from rising to the surface, the milk blocking your view of anything. You feel something breaching the milk lake above you as you bob under the surface.

That something, hard, cold, and metallic jars you, which you now realize is a spoon, and you finally breach the surface. You “look” up and see Annie, your gorgeous sister with her light brown hair and hazel eyes. She looked tired and half asleep, sitting there in her bathrobe holding a spoon.

“Sis! Annie! I’m down here!” You try to scream, but once again you have no mouth and she can’t hear you. Annie lowers her spoon into the bowl. SPLISH! The spoon plunges into the milk, scoops up several Cheerios, not including you, and WOSH is pulled up. You watch in terror as the spoon enters Annie’s mouth and pulls out clean. Crunch… crunch… crunch… Annie lazily chews her breakfast, for that’s all that you are to her, breakfast.

Annie just barely manages to avoid scooping you up with her next spoonful. “Annie! Annie stop! Help me!” You try to scream but it’s all in your head. The spoon heads straight towards you and plunges into the milk once more. You can’t do anything to stop yourself as your Cheerio body floats up over the spoon.

You’re lifted up out of the bowl and head towards Annie’s beautiful face. “NO! Annie don’t eat me!” You knew it wouldn’t hurt, but you’d end up inside Annie’s stomach just like you ended up in your Mom’s. Annie doesn’t hesitate though; she opens her mouth tiredly and you enter the cave of her mouth.

You were scared when you were eaten by Mom, but you didn’t know what the result would be. Now seeing Annie’s teeth ready to crush you as soon as she withdrew the spoon, the dark cavern of her throat, the twitching of her tongue as you approach, it’s all the more horrifying now that you knew what would happen next. You go tumbling as the light disappears and you are shoved off the spoon.

CRUNCH! You scream your soundless scream as Annie starts chewing. It takes a couple more chews before she CRUNCH! bites down on you splitting you into pieces. You can feel no pain, but there’s still a feeling of pressure and… separation as you are chewed into bits.

The tongue gathers the bits of the other Cheerios including you and GULP! pushes you down with great force. You travel down your sister’s throat and are dumped into her stomach. Once again you feel the sensation of burning covering your entire body…

"WARNING User is in danger of complete dissolution. Emergency object transfer activated. User will be transferred to another object in the vicinity." You feel a yank as the Inanimatron pulls you away again.

-

The next moment of awareness, you are extremely cold. “Device timer reset and extended. 24 hours before recharge is available.” The Inanimatron’s voice is the last thing you hear before all is silent. You sit there for what seems like hours in a place so pitch black you can’t recognize it. Eventually you feel something shaking you around along with several other objects.

A tearing sound heralds the arrival of light, and with it, the realization of your form. You were a frozen French fry in a bag in the freezer, with the bag having just been torn open by your Mom. “No no no no no…” You panic as Mom moves away from the fridge and pours you and your fellow fries into and hot steaming deep fat fryer.

“AAAGHHH!!!” You scream in terror. You feel no pain, but the heat quickly forcing its way into your body is uncomfortable in its own way. The smell of vegetable oils invades your “nose” with you helpless to get away from it.

After about 15 minutes you are pulled out of the fryer by your Mom. You feel almost a sense of relief until you realize what’s going to happen next. Your Mom hums to herself as she poured out the fries into one plate and then another. “Annie!” Mom shouts.

Annie comes by and picks up the other plate that you’re not on, which can only mean… Mom picks up your plate and puts it on the table before sitting down. You can only watch as Mom squirts some ketchup onto the plate and starts dipping fries in. “MOM!” Mom shows no sign of having heard you, nobody ever would hear you. Mom grasps you along with a couple other fries and lifts you up. “Don’t eat me!” you scream out of habit rather than any hope that she would stop. You feel cold as she dips you in ketchup and can do nothing but watch as she brings you up to her mouth.

“No more! God make it stop!” You scream soundlessly as your mom takes a bite out of your French fry body. You couldn’t stand it, this is the third time in a row you were being eaten.

“Mmm!” Mom moans from your taste and continues chewing you up. As she chews you realize until the Inanimatron transferred you to something that wouldn’t be eaten for 24 hours, you could end up being eaten over and over again for who knows how long. Mom hated wasting food, so the odds you would end up as something that wouldn't be eaten anytime soon weren't great. Mom and Annie would be oblivious as you fed them time and time again. Since you would leave without notice sometimes it would be at least a couple days before they even noticed you were missing. All you could do was scream wordlessly as Mom chewed half your body and swallowed before tossing the rest in and starting the process all over again.

“Help me!!!” You scream in terror as the rest of you is deposited into your Mom’s stomach for the second time. The only response is Mom’s stomach gurgling as it begins working on her meal.
