Ted suckles the silicate confused. His massive jaw is unable to chew as a rubbery foot slips between his teeth every bite. Slimy and sliding, a heap of tiny colored gelatin beings bathe in his saliva. He drools hoping he can digest them, surely they must be food. Their sweetness is seemingly infinite.Chomp again, off goes one's head, delighting Ted, and the mashing continues. A few fall on the snow next to the faded plastic wrapper, if we believe labels, they came from the Black Forest. Back in his mouth, one by one their appendages break off and they dissolve into a swallowed sucrose ooze.
Ted licks his lips and lowers his snout, sniffing out the last living gummy berries.A red ear pokes up out of the fresh snowfall and catches Ted's curious eye. Tilting his head to the left and sticking his tongue out full length, the last gummy bear is swallowed alive. Deep in his tummy Ted hears a rumbling, oh goodness, a burp, satisfied.
