####¤§:«:¨ 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~~ ¨:«:§¤####
