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~~
