BFFs Forever Everybody Likes That Little Man! chapter 2 by Paok

"You liked that little man? This is my favorite Tiny BBQ place." Chloe asked. Then she glanced at Jennifer's empty plate and stopped. "Wait a minute. Jen. Did you just eat him whole?"

"Yeah, I sure did," belched Jennifer, smiling and patting her thin midsection. "He was delicious."

"OMG, Jen. You ate him with his bones? You didn't take them out??" Chloe gasped.

"No, I never do" Jennifer grinned, her thin and elegant hand caressing her svelte tum. "I like the crunch."

"Ugh, you're such a weirdo. You are like the only person on earth who would ever do that. Don't you know you can get internal bleeding like that? They can puncture your intestines!"

"Pff, I've never had that happen." Jen continued groping her nubile, lissom navel. "That's just an urban legend. I heard a Tiny BBQ place in Beverly made that up so the customers would stop wolfing down all their tinies so fast. Have you ever tried eating them whole? It's great. The bones are like little wafers."

"No, no, I'm serious Jenna!!" Chloe yanked out her phone. "Look, somebody died from it!"

"Come on," Jenna rolled her eyes.

"Look! This was on my feed yesterday."

Chloe shoved the phone in Jenna's BBQ sauce-covered face, playing a video on YouTube¹. In the video, "A Woman Ate Tinies Whole. This Is What Happened To Her Liver."

In the video, a professionally dressed woman was talking straight into the camera. An Asian woman in her late 30s, she wore a sharp, unbuttoned blazer and messily coiffed hair with brown-dyed streaks. She spoke clearly and seriously. "LM is a 37-year-old woman presenting to the emergency room with fever, chills, and abdominal pain. She tells the admitting nurse that she woke up overnight in a pool of cold sweat, shaking and crying, her body aching all over. You see, LM was a successful product designer, visiting town on a work trip. And just two nights before, she had gone out to eat Tiny BBQ with her coworkers to celebrate the trip. But LM had a bad habit when she ate tinies. She always ate them whole, without -"

"Alright, alright I get the picture," Jennifer batted the phone away. "I hate that girl's videos. They're so gross and sad." She glanced at the video title and stats. "Also that video's like 2 years old?"

"Ugh I binged so many ChubbyEgirl's³ videos last night. It's so, like, morbidly addictive."

"Whatever let's keep hanging out at the mall!!"

Chloe stood up, crunching a tiny waiter under her heel.

Jennifer stood up too, and they walked together. Jennifer re-crunched the same tiny on the floor that Chloe had stepped on, turning a gagging but stable tiny with a few broken bones into a mushy pile of goo.⁴
