While her family was eating her classmates, Creepie was having the time of her life. All her dreams seemed to be coming true today. First, she shrinks down to bug size; experiencing everything a bug does from tumble weed sized dust bunnies to the feared giant shoe. Now, she was finding out what it felt like to hop around like grasshopper. It was very exciting, but Creepie retained her decorum.

“Yeeeehawwwww! Ride em’ grasshopper!” She screamed as her rode on her cousin Gerald, around the Dweezwald. She kept on hand on his back to hold on with, while her other arm flapped in the air as he jumped hundreds of feet up and came down gracefully with a thud to only go up again. With the wind in her hair and the fear of swallowing a bug gone, Creepie let herself go and hooted and hollered until her throat was sore.

“My goodness, you are excitable today,” Gerald laughed and came down on the hard wood floor. He lowered his thorax and let Creepie crawl off. The normally unresponsive face of Creepie Creature was gone and a much happier, almost childlike face was there instead. She hugged her cousin tightly, so grateful to him for the amazing ride.

“Thank you, thank you, thank you, that was soooo wicked! You’re absolutely amazing cousin Gerald!” Creepie giggled and let go of her green cousin. Gerald chuckled bashfully; if he could he would have been blushing after hearing all Creepie’s complements.

“Shucks, it was no big thing. I used to give your baby brother Gnat rides all the time when he was a larva,” Gerald lowered his head timidly, he wasn’t the most outgoing of the bugs living in Dweezwold Mansion and wasn’t used to the praise he was getting. “I got to go, you’re mom should be done with her meals.”

Creepie nodded, reminded that her mother had sent her off so she could eat a bunch of kids from her school. The thought of what had been happening to her classmates while she was having fun didn’t faze Creepie at all. Thousands of bugs die every day, so why should the untimely death of two-dozen humans bother Creepie. Humans are animals and animals are eaten every day. That was Creepie’s logic and it made her feel no guilt for anything that might have happened to the humans she brought home. Actually, a small part of her thought of this as karma for the bugs all her classmates stepped on and frogs they dissected in class. See how they like being over powered by the bigger race.

Curious to see what had become of her classmates, Creepie ran over to the main room where the feeding frenzy had taken place. Before she even got to the room, she saw one of the strangest things she’d ever seen. Trying to get airborne was her littlest brother Gnat, whose entire lower body was grossly distended. Gnat flapped his tiny wings, trying to get up, but the weight inside him was too much. He ended up crashing into the floor and rolling over to Creepie’s feet. He snarled something that no human could understand, but Creepie knew well. She shook her head at the overstuffed gnat and patted his stomach soothingly.

“What has mom said about eating things bigger then your whole body? One of these days your going to burst open and you only got yourself to blame.” Creepie left her brother lying their, groaning and wishing they’d make an antacid that was gnat size.

As Creepie entered the main room where the class had once been, she spotted several bugs with full, bulging stomachs. She caught sight of her older brother Paulie sitting in the corner with something hanging out of his mouth. As Creepie got closer, she saw it was an arm trying desperately to get out of the pill bugs cavernous mouth. Paulie saw his sister and slurped the arm up like a wet noodle. He got up with his arms wide and his belly twitching to greet his sister.

“Creepie, thanks for bringing these humans over, they taste better then garbage. The best part though is the wiggling. Most bugs stop trying to escape after you swallow them, but these guys just keep kicking until the end.” Paulie rubbed his shell-covered gut, feeling it vibrate as the few kids that he ate struggled inside of him. He knew the struggles would end soon, so he enjoyed it while it lasted. Creepie bent over to look at her brother’s belly, wondering what it was like inside him. Was it hot? Sticky? Did it stink? She didn’t care very much that her brother had eaten someone, but she was curious about what they were experiencing. What did it feel like inside another creature?

“Hey Creepie!” Paulie excitedly said. “You got to see mom. She went nuts after eating one of the brattier kids and started gobbling them down like lice. You got to check her out.” Creepie nodded, intrigued by her brothers statement. Her mother had a huge appetite. Everyone knew that. But some how she had outdone herself tonight during the feeding frenzy. That got Creepies’s full attention. She scanned the room, immediately spotting her mother beside the few remaining humans. It seemed that she hadn't missed the show completely. Creepies jaw dropped at the sight of the family matron now.
