Chapter Text
As the day progressed, the hours seemed to get longer. I watched as the hands of the clock ticked
slowly, waiting patiently for my time to leave. As I looked down and sigh at the thought of
spending another hour at my job, the floorboards started rumbling.
The shaking was rhythmic, as
if something was walking towards the buffet. The ground trembled more and more as this mysterious being inched closer and closer to the buffet and its scared customers. Suddenly, the door swung open and a grotesque and large man stood at the doorway. Struggling to get in, they broke through the very wall itself in a fit of rage. The customers started screaming and panicking from the site of the man, however the only exit was blocked off.
I was frozen in fear, hands gripping the sides of my uniform as I started at the impossibly large giant. One of my coworkers however decided to shakily make his way over to the man. “H-hello sir, welcome to th-“ they tried to say, for our job requires us to welcome the guests, but were quickly snatched by the large man. “So, I heard you have a 50% off deal, Hm?” The man grumbled, which my coworker, terrified, replied with “y-Yes sir we do.. m-may I h-have your name p-please?” Suddenly, I remember reading a newspaper from this morning. A detailed description of a large human being, fatter than any world record, haunting buffets and restaurants. Their name?
CaseOh.
CaseOh stared at my coworker, before laughing. A deep, guttural, and oh so terrifying sound. He proceeded to ignore the request and unhinged his jaw like a snake. Without even taking a single bite, he simply swallowed them whole. The customers were in a panicked frenzy. Going left and right as they even tried jumping out the windows, but were unsuccessful.
I finally got the reign of my body again and ran. But where could I go? There are no exits except for the main entrance, and if I head there I am guaranteed to be eaten. I ran, feeling the wind go past my body as I headed to the employees-only room, ignoring the screams and sounds of things being eaten. I don’t want to know what is happening behind me for I can make a very good guess, instead? I run to the room and lock the door, panting, and trying to catch my breath, but instantly stopping as I hear stomping getting closer. I cover my mouth and crouch, hiding behind an old vending machine.
Suddenly, the very door is blown off its hinges as the beast walks in. “Where are you? Ugh, I hate it when food runs away” booms through the room, and my heartbeat skyrockets. I pray it cannot hear my breathing… however… “Ah ha! There you are!” I was picked up from the ground by its large, ugly hands and it began to open its grotesque, red lips. I can’t die like this! my family, friends, I can’t leave them! But before I could plead, I was thrusted into the beings mouth, consumed by darkness.
