WHO: yourothermother, more_surreal, zeronator
WHAT: A little less eyeball-nomming, a lot more action.
WHEN: Evening, Wednesday 28 June
WHERE: The Other Mother's apartment building
WARNINGS: Intended eyeball nomming. Violence.
If she were in the Void, she wouldn't need to eat this soon. She's already eaten one child, not even a fortnight before, and now she wants a second. But she's not in the Void and the illusions for Calvin are draining her, maintaining her apartment is draining her, digging into reserves she doesn't recall keeping in reserve.
It's time. She goes to the emptiest corner of the room she calls her own--though they're all hers and they're all emptier than the child might think--and selects two buttons, a needle, thread. Sets them in a box she gift wraps.
She wonders if he will survive to sew the buttons over his own eyelids, like the children in the Void did, like Michael Adams did not.
"Calvin," she calls, "dinner's ready!"
