Midgets
Tamsin Butler

She launched herself full force into the moving blancmange, slowly she was sucked in. The monsters jaws engulfed them and the beast moved on. The buzz of angry chattering rose above the roar of the beast. A sharp poke in the ribs made her jump for safety. Her hands banged onto the hard grip above her head and she clung on for dear life. She looked down onto the heads of the snarling midgets below her, then the beast stopped and expelled the midgets in one swift movement. She found herself alone in the belly of the beast with only a strange man whistling and tapping a tune. She hated commuting in the morning.
