egg  eater       
                               
                                          
                                          
 absolutely  spherical  egg. find  it  on 
    large sandy beaches, upshore where    
 dunes  meet  shadowy  pines.  teal  egg, 
                                          
 makes  some   sentient  bird   or  other 
    warm-blooded creature. lanky meat,    
 incredible meat inside, mostly tendons.  
           slithery but strong.           
                                          
 the  egg has an opening. the  egg has  a 
 belly   button.   looks  like  a  rubber 
 vortex, the crust gets soft  and becomes 
                  a hole.                 
                                          
                        
                                          
 and   on   these   beaches   there's   a 
     particular snake or lizard which     
 certainly   eats  insects  most  of  the 
 time, but it  knows a good  belly button 
 when  it  sees  one,  and knows to enter 
                 the egg                  
                                          
 it  will crawl  into  the  teal  sphere, 
 disappear completely and  eat it all up, 
 ruining  the  integrity  of   the   egg. 
        destroying the inhabitant.        
                                          
 it's  a  grisly  sight  when  it  cracks 
 open,  the  reptile  taking   the  quick 
  exit, emerging bloodied and victorious  
              and satisfied~~
