Den of meal...

The worm, a chimera ant, had cotton on its top layer.

Lenny had to first bite the cotton part off before he got to the fleshy inside.

As he did, the worm made screeching noises like the tires of a car drifting on the road.

It squirmed and shook, trying its best to get free and escape for its life, but Lenny did not let go.

He could not use his hands and was relegated to biting his way into the worm like a beast of the wild.

The insides looked like a mixture of lasagna and intestines. It was very salty but meaty and had a slightly sugary taste.

It was not the most appealing thing for one to consume, but in the state that he was in, it was all he had.

Regardless of how the worm cried for its life, he did not stop eating it alive.

So was the world. Survival of the fittest

The insects outside the cave heard the cries of the worm, but for some reason, they could not enter to help it.
