“Ssssshhhhh,” Casey cooed at her former friend and currant meal. His whining was making her appetite wane, distracting her from the excitement she was getting from knowing that her former friend would soon be a permanent addition to her body. The voice at the back of the head telling her that eating Tommy was wrong was still buzzing, but it was being overcome by the urge to consume. Casey was no longer the little girl that followed the team around like a lost puppy. She was a deadly predator that ate everything weaker then her. Sure, she still had a conscience that prevented her from killing certain shrinkees, like Brad and Ash, but those instincts were greatly diminished when it came to most everyone else. Tommy was once one of her best friends; she adored only Brad more back in the day. Now Tommy was at his ropes end, helpless, alone and without any chance of having a comeback at baseball. Casey knew it would only go down hill for the former star. What she was doing was a service to him, he would no longer have to live with the fear of being killed every moment and he would always be a part of her. Sure, he was scared now, but soon it wouldn’t matter because he would become a part of her in a little while.

That’s what Casey told herself, but truthfully, she really just wanted to find out what it was like to eat someone she had once loved as a friend.

Casey smiled down at Tommy, scaring him momentarily when she displayed her teeth. Casey had to suppress an angry growl when she saw the look of terror on Tommy’s face. She was trying to be kind to him in his last moments and he was cowering like a little girl. She had expected this from some cowardly little shrinkee shit, but not from her manly Tommy. Seeing him in this state only reinforced her desire to remove him from this mortal coil, to protect her image of the strong Electabuzzs player she once knew.

She started to speak to him as calmly as she could, so he would stop trembling and except that he was going to be eaten. “Listen carefully Tommy, you’re life span is that of a bug. I’m not being cruel, I’m being honest. Do you know what could be in store for you out there? You’re a happy meal, a sex toy, a piece of jewelry, you have no future. You might be dying, but you are actually gaining something. You’re gaining immortality through me. If anyone else ate you then you would be forgotten in a minute. You’d be just another calorie in some chicks ass, but with me, you’ll always be remembered. Do you want to be remembered as a shrinkee snack, or do you want to live on as one of the greatest baseball players of all time?”

“I want to be the greatest baseball players of all time.” Tommy croaked, regaining some of his courage. He needed to do this. He may no longer be a real man, but he could go out like one.

“She’s right Tommy! You can do it!” Lee screamed, pumping his fists in the air to support his friend as he went to his death.

“You’ll always be remembered as the best Tommy boy!” Brad shouted out as well, only with a little less conviction. Something was different with Casey, but he couldn’t be sure what. She made some good points, but something seemed off. Like she was just saying everything to get Tommy to jump into her mouth and was making up shit o the spot. But that was ridicules, Casey was the sweetest girl in the world. She was only eating Tommy to help his image live on. Wasn’t she?

“Good Tommy, now jump into my mouth.” Casey put her palm against her lower lip and opened wide. Her lips opened easily, as that voice at the back of her head was drowned out completely by her hunger. Her last shrinkee was already mush inside her, leaving an empty void to be filled by Tommy.

Saliva dripped from her cavern like mouth onto her tongue, wetting Tommy’s deathbed. Tommy stood up in Casey’s hand. His knees nearly buckled as he looked into her mouth. He could see only dim redness in front of him except in the back. There he saw complete and total darkness in a circle. It stood open, greeting him and begging for him to fall into it. He could see the twitching shape of Casey’s tongue, waiting to taste him, thereby lubricating him for his trip down. He knew what he was looking at. He was looking at the last thing he’ll ever see. It was too much, he took a step back and prepared to jump off Casey’s hand. Hopefully, the fall would break his neck and save him from the horrible fate he would suffer inside Casey. He didn’t care about his legacy. He didn’t care if he spent his last few moments as a coward. He just wanted his nightmare to end.

Tommy’s hesitation didn’t go unnoticed by Casey, who was staring down her nose at him. She was salivating as she waited for his naked flesh to touch his tongue and was growing impatient. When she saw him take a step back, she knew she needed to act. It looked like Tommy had spent too much time as a shrinkee and lost his spine. He was no longer the strong friend she once knew. Casey had to do something before he besmirched his own good name. So, she ‘accidentally’ tilted her hand forward, sending Tommy falling into her open mouth. He flew over her teeth and landed face first in her mouth. She closed her mouth quickly and started to suck on the former baseball player. Casey looked down at Lee and Brad, who were both giving her thumbs up. She smiled down at them, even as she pinned Tommy against the top of her mouth and started grinding him against her tongue. She could feel every inch of his body against her taste buds and enjoyed toying with his limp member. She pushed him from one corner of her mouth to the next, covering him in saliva to lubricate his body. She had suppress a moan as she probed his whole body with her tongue, taste a mix of flesh and sweat. If this was what friendship tasted like, then she needed to start only eating friends. While she sucked on him, she sometimes felt him trying to kick and punch the inside of her mouth. His aggression made Casey feel slightly proud for the shrunken friend. He might have been acting like a wimp near the end, but his sudden show of defiance proved he still had some of the old spark. Once Casey had sucked the entire flavor from Tommy and he was nearly unconscious from the tongue-lashing she’d given him, Casey swallowed. Nothing too dramatic, just tilt the tongue up, relax and let the body do the rest. Casey’s remaining fiends saw the tiny lump travel down her throat, disappearing under her collar and never seen again. Casey let out a satisfying sigh and patted her stomach, she would never tell Lee or Brad, but when she touched her stomach, she felt Tommy’s tiny fists banging against her stomach as he pleaded to be let out.

“I think we did the right thing.” Lee nodded to Casey’s statement, unaware of the truth or as they were speaking, Tommy was screaming for help in Casey’s belly. Brad felt strange after watching Tommy die. Casey made good points, but couldn’t help but worry that she would say the same thing when she ate him and Lee.
