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~~
