The Land of Monsters… what an intimidating realm! The sky was a vibrant and ominous shade of red, with what appears to be a storm circling above… the houses all looked ancient and veiled in shadow… but despite all this, the inhabitants all seemed to be rather bright and cheerful, if a little sinister. You got a few funny looks from passersby, as it was obvious that you were a stranger in a strange land. You’d probably be terrified here… if it wasn’t for the fact that you were so much bigger than most everybody else.
“It’s probably a good you swallowed ‘im, really! Your belly’s probably the safest place to be around here,” Jenny laughs. “A boy like him probably wouldn’t go on for long here before being snatched up and gobbled down by some demoness or something.” You shuddered at the thought, laying a hand of your scaly gut and hearing the movements deep inside. Dave definitely doesn’t seem to like it in there, but at least he seems to be safe. With his struggles, he’s been tiring himself out, and soon all he can do is try to get comfortable inside your stomach.
Eventually, you find yourself staring up at the most ornate, odd and fancy restaurant building you’ve ever seen! It almost seems non-euclidian in its architecture, a towering silhouette against the scarlet sky. “Now THIS is the best joint around, for all connoisseurs of monster cuisine! Of course, nothing’s tastier than spoiled brats...” Jenny calls as she disappears through the double doors into the restaurant. “... but the food here is the second best thing!”
The doors are big, but still, you have to fold your wings behind your back and crawl just to fit through the door. Once you were inside, though, you were stunned by the sheer size of the place! You could hear a cacophony of spooky voices as every monster you’ve ever heard legends of, or even seen in movies, was all here! You gawked as you stumbled past an xenomorph flirting with a purple people eater… a grey alien doing tricks to impress his rakasha girlfriend… this place really had EVERYTHING!
“Urgh… it smells in here…” You groan. A barrage of the worst stench you’ve ever smelt was pouring from the kitchen! Although, even as you scrunch your face up on impulse at the stench… it’s actually not all that unpleasant. In fact, you actually sort of liked how bad it smelled!
“Smells so GOOD, you mean!” Jenny said with a sway of her hips. “Everything you found gross as a human, you’ll find wonderful as a monster! Trust me!” You walked up to the counter… only to see the restaurant was being manned by an absolutely massive kraken woman, who was actually a little larger than you were! You were in awe at her size, as her single huge eye glanced down half-interested at the eager clown woman.
“I’ll have some fried fingers, a royale with cheese, and some gummy boys for the road,” Penny smiled, before pointing over her shoulder at you. “And a landfill burger for my friend here!” The kraken had a bored expression on her face as she rung her up, before the two of you found a table. Jenny took a chair, while you kind of had to awkwardly lay down on the floor, waiting for them to bring you your orders.
As you gawked around the restaurant in awe, you couldn’t help but notice a gnoll woman eagerly rubbing her lips as she looked over her meal. An entire buffet was laid out for her - apparently, judging by her weight, she was a big eater. The centerpiece of that buffet? Well, lying there on a tray, tied up with an apple stuffed in his mouth, was a boy about Dave’s size! He struggled against his bindings, his protests muffled by the apple, as the hyena woman licked her lips as she looked down at him with hunger in her eyes, a big bib on her neck reading ‘EAT YOU’.
You can only watch as the gnoll slips her ‘meals’ feet into her mouth, cooing at the flavor before pulling them into her throat with a gulp. All the boy could do was squirm futilely as he was brought deeper and deeper in with every gulp, the gnoll’s slobbery lips coming up to his waist in no time at all, the ropes binding him rendering him seemingly helpless. All he could do was wriggle as her hungry jaws travelled over his belly, and then his chest, until most of his body has disappeared into that darkness…
Once only his head was sticking out from between her jaws, he finally managed to spit that apple out! “No! Please! Not again! Somebody! Help-! Mph!” His loud, panicked shouting fills the restaurant for a moment, but it was too little, too late. One last gulp was all it took to reduce the boy to a bulge in her throat, and then, her belly. She let out a thunderous belch as she leaned back, her hands wrapping around her much rounder gut.
“Sorry about that, everyone! This one’s a fighter!” She sheepishly apologized to the other customers after that loud outburst, although most of them seemed to be either amused by it, or indifferent towards it. Even now, you could see the hand and footprints of the boy inside, as the gnoll sits back seeming ecstatic at the feeling, her tail wagging behind her. “Tasty, though. My compliments to the chef!”
You shivered, a little disturbed by the sight… but you had to remind yourself that at least that boy wasn’t getting digested. Heck, it’s not like you even had any room to judge, considering you’ve just eaten your own brother yourself! Still, it begged the question of why the boy was even here. “I didn’t know they served PEOPLE at this restaurant,” you noted.
“Oh, yeah. They serve pretty much anything you can imagine,” Jenny laughs.
“But what was that kid even doing here, in The Land of Monsters?” You ask. “Isn’t it just for, like… monsters?”
“Well, sometimes, when a brat is as bad as, say, your little brother, their parents send them here for a few months to be properly ‘disciplined’,” Jenny explained. “It’s not a nice place for a brat to be, for sure! There’ll be exposed to their worst fears… eaten over and over and over again… basically tormented 24/7! They always end up becoming little angels, though. The brattiness gets scared right out of them.”
You shudder at the thought… and yet, the more you think about it, maybe some of them do have it coming. Like Dave, for example. You couldn’t help but like the thought of letting these monsters give him the discipline he needs, so he’ll stop being the utter, nightmarish thorn in your side that he always seems to be. Before you can contemplate this some more, your food’s finally ready! Jenny gets a more traditional meal laid out for her… while you have an entire table wheeled over to you, boasting the largest hamburger you’ve ever seen!
This time has to be at least a thousand pounds! Even for someone of your sheer size, it was definitely a filling meal! However, the more you smelled and analyzed it, the more you learned why it was called the landfill burger. Pulling the buns back, the burger was completely full of rancid garbage and rotten food! The stench was absolutely overwhelming! “Jenny! Is this supposed to be food? It’s disgusting!”
“Oh, don’t be such a baby! Just give it a try,” she rolled her eyes as she chomped down on some weird french fries, which looked ominously finger-shaped. “Trust me, now that you’re a monster, you’re gonna find this sort of food delicious!” You’re about to protest… but the awful stench of the burger is sort of appetizing for some reason. And the more you look at all the garbage filling it, the more your stomach starts to growl…
Eventually, you work up the courage to take a bite… only to smile as the flavor delights your tastebuds! Sure, it wasn’t as tasty as Dave was… but it was still the second tastiest thing you’ve ever eaten! “Mmmm! This IS pretty good!” You smile, chewing and swallowing your meal before going in for another bite. You were soon chomping happily away at the burger, enjoying the new flavor!
Meanwhile, Dave’s struggles intensified as he was covered in rancid, disgusting garbage inside your stomach! But it’s not like you cared about that. In fact, back when you were a human, you were used to how bratty Dave was… but now that you’re a monster, it’s starting to make you angrier and angrier to think about. How DARE he be so rude, so inconsiderate, so selfish all the time? It was almost like your natural monster instincts were driving you to want to punish the brat! So, covering him in garbage inside your stomach was immensely cathartic to you.
Soon, the burger was gone, and your stomach was now a lot fuller… and a lot grosser. You let out a satisfied sigh as you rubbed your scaly gut, your tongue hanging from the side of your maw. Now that you’ve finished dinner, what’s next?
