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~~
