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~~
