Eat Me Alive by K. Sparrow

Everything is not what it seems.

The number of male Terra have dwindled close to none and in order to propagate more sprouts, my sister has trapped me in this endless torment of seed extraction. I understand what she had to do, but I still harbor a deep resentment of her.

When the gates are opened to humans, one is assigned to save my life. I know her. The trees sing her praises, my hunger worsens when she is around. Every time she gets too close, I want to encase her in my arms…in my maws. The emptiness in me wants to cradle her like a prized gift, and my serpents unfurl…throbbing. Thrumming. Starving to taste her skin.

But she is no different from my sister and the humans before her. She is here to use me, too. The only difference is I want to be used by her. Just as long as she agrees to let me eat her every time she takes from me.

She doesn’t know this, but she belongs inside me.
