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~~
