It was a dark, cold night.It was a cold winter night in January 2018.A young Skoog named Yuki, only 16 years old in human age, was trying to find a red meteor that crashed on Earth five years ago.She didn't know that danger was on its way when she tried to get close to the beautiful, crimson-like red color of the meteor.The reason why she's trying to find the red meteor is that she believes that a race of Skratchers that has the power from the meteor lives near it.A few miles later, she finally found the meteor, but where were the Skratchers?That's when she hears a twig snap. Crnch! "What was that!?" Yuki said, in a scared and worried tone. Her anxiety slowly begins to seep in as she tries to investigate the snap.Is there a creature nearby?Who knows...As she gets closer to the meteor, she can hear an animal growl, it sounds like a Skratcher... "Who's there?!" Yuki said. It's only a few moments before......She gets bitten by a Skratcher! "AAAAAEEEE!!!!!!" A blood-curdling scream echoed from Yuki.Then, a worried voice came from the Skratcher. "Oh god! I'm sorry! Are you ok!?" The Skratcher said. "Yes...! Owww!" Yuki replied in pain. Poor Yuki got bitten on the leg, lucky and surprisingly, she wasn't bleeding that hard. "I thought you were a monster!" The Skratcher said. He had mistaken Yuki for a monster. "Who are you...!?" Yuki asked in a scared tone. "No need to ask that question now, ma'am!" The Skratcher said, right before......He bit her again! "AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!" Yuki screamed more loudly before she collapsed unconscious. Yuki later woke up in the Skratcher's nest that is made out of blankets, she was at least warm and cozy with them.But, there's a weird problem, everything is bigger than her. She begins to notice the healing wound on her left leg.Then, she begins to think.
"Did I shrink?"
Then, a drop of a purplish substance plops onto one of her flares.The substance made her sleepy, just like last time, she instantly fell asleep. "Looks like the sleepy venom worked..." The Skratcher said. It's revealed that the Skratcher shrunk Yuki using his shrinking venom when he bit her in the leg with his three spikes on the front tip of his mouth.The sleepy venom takes effect first before the shrinking venom does, which explains why Yuki collapsed unconscious in the first place.The Skratcher then picks the sleeping Yuki up, he has no idea what he's going to do with her.Maybe gently play with her sleeping body for a little bit?Or...Put her on his chest so that she can listen to his heart?That's all he can think of. Until something answers a different response. Gwwwrrrrlllll~! His stomach grumbled in hunger. "Maybe, I should eat something... But I don't think there's food around..." He said as he rubbed his belly. Gurrruurrrbbll~! His belly gurgles again. He looks at her... ...And he thought... "Maybe... I can eat her, but I don't want to digest her..." Gaauuwwwrrrll~!! As he rubs his roaring belly, he can slowly feel the hunger pangs, he's starving! "Oh god...! Ow!" So he begins to gently put her in his mouth, trying not to stab her with his sharp teeth. "Grrrmhp~!" Yuki tasted very sweet!She tastes like blueberries!He savors her for a bit, trying not to wake her up. Grrrwwwmmmbbbll! "Looks like it's time to swallow her, heh..." He said. With no time, he lifts his head, making Yuki slowly slide down into his throat. Hr-glrk! Due to how small his throat is, he has some difficulty swallowing her. But, she's at least gotten through his throat. Glrulk! He swallowed again, and Yuki's sleeping body went deeper into his throat.He can feel her pass through his throat and into his esophagus.Glurk~!That last swallow pushed Yuki into his esophagus, she didn't care as she slept."Phew! Much better..." The Skratcher said.He was satisfied with a blueberry-tasting Skoog in his esophagus, which she was sliding down.In his esophagus, Yuki slides deeper and deeper as the force of the peristalsis guides her into his belly.She was sleeping, so she didn't notice that she was sliding down deeper."Ya know, ma'am, I've been thinking, I could just keep you in my belly for a while~!" The Skratcher said. He has been planning to keep Yuki in his stomach!? Let's hope that it goes pretty smoothly...Eventually, a ring of muscle, the lower esophageal sphincter, opens.Just like his throat, it was small, so it was quite difficult for her to pass through. She eventually passes through the sphincter.The Skratcher can feel Yuki pass through the sphincter and plop into his yearning belly. "Grrrmph~!" He purred, now satisfied with Yuki in his belly. "Much better!" He said. Yuki is yet, still asleep. The squishy, fleshy walls cradle her as she sleeps, and the acids gently bubble around her, like a Jacuzzi. She wasn't even getting digested, she was completely safe inside the Skratcher's gut. 13 hours later... The night has passed, and the sun has already risen. "Huh...?" Yuki groaned, she was the first to wake up. Almost everything in the stomach was dark and empty.The strange line-like patterns of the stomach have a soft, crimson-red glow. "Where am I'm...?" Yuki said, she was trying to get a good look at the strange environment that she was in. "Why's everything so wet and squishy in here...?" Yuki said, she seemed confused. Yuki noticed the patterns of the walls of the stomach.She begins to panic a little, the patterns look familiar! "Oh god! Am I inside of a monster!?" She panicked. Then, she hears a yawn. "Yaaaaaawwwwn... Huh...? What's going on, ma'am...?" The voice said, the voice was the Skratcher that just ate her 13 hours ago. "Oh, hey... Good morning..." The Skratcher said to Yuki, his sleepy voice was familiar enough to her. "Huh...? What was that...!?" Yuki nervously said. "Ma'am...? Are you ok...? You sound scared..." The Skratcher asked. "Uh... Yeah...? And, I don't know where I am!" Yuki replied, she was confused and scared. "Ah... Well." The Skratcher said. "Let me explain some things to you, so you know what's going on." He added.
