Boy in city
       The clothing left a stringy aftertaste in his mouth, I'll have to do something about that, thought the boy. He grabbed another handful, these he gobbled up quickly. As he chewed, blood would dribble from his mouth, he used his bare arm to wipe the excess from his lips. The boy still on his knees, decided to do in the buildings by just plowing into them. As he slowly approached the first structure, he saw people leaping from the windows. better to die in the fall, than be crushed in the collapsing building they use to call home. His legs touched the first building lightly at first, the bricks gave the walls a softer feeling, like a pie crust. He savored the sensation as the building collapsed about his thigh. The brick walls gave way, then the inner structures, these collapsed like cookie wafers, inward, revealing more furniture, crumbling drywall, and trapped people. Look Ma, no hands, thought the boy, giggling as he raised his hands above his head. Still hungry, the boy took another handful of people to his mouth. These he chewed slowly and thoughtfully. Then another. He kept the clothing in a wad in his mouth, rather than swallow it. The building actually tickled the boy as he plowed through it, he continued on his knees to the next building in the row. Like an unstoppable moving mountain, the boy laughed as each building collapsed. He noticed on top of the structures, what looked like little cups, a water reservoir he thought, he lifted one up, and poured the water into his mouth it was cool and refreshing, after the warm blood. Excellent, three on each building, about forty gallons each, he would be able to drink his full with his meal. After about eight mouthfulls, he was getting a little more picky. He spit out the chewed wad of clothing he had collected in his mouth. I can do without the clothing he thought, though peeling each, one by one would take forever. He picked up a little man, and ripped the shirt off, then the pants and shoes. He observed the tiny figure kicking in his fingers,. He compared the figure to himself. He could make out the tiny hands in detail, the figure was a pale flesh tone, the man had a lot more body hair than the boy. I'll just have to grow up, thought the boy, again laughing at his own joke. Just perfect in every detail. The boy brought the figure to his mouth, and virtually sucked him in like you do with spaghetti. It struggled and pounded at the boy's lips, as the boy severed the figure in half with his front teeth. Actually, naked was much better. The boy continued in a straight path, deliberately plowing the structures, against his thighs and belly, occasionally selecting delicate morsels from the surrounding grounds. He decided after sampling, that woman tasted a little better than men, though he couldn't say why. He tore the dress off of a particularly well formed screaming lady and examined her more carefully than the man. She curled up each time he tried to feel her with his enormous finger. She was pinker than the guy. He casually smashed anther building while looking at her. Hundreds of people crushed between the collapsing brick walls and his legs. He tossed the woman high in the air and caught her in his teeth, like a piece of popcorn......
    The boy had carved out a U shaped niche between the buildings he had already leveled. It resembled a horse shoe shape, or maybe an old armchair, with two buildings extended on each side, as the arms. The boy spun around in a sitting position, with his back toward the building. his legs were extended outwards, flat on the ground dangling over the ruins of two buildings and the parking lots. He looked at the two "armrest" buildings flanking him on either side. They both had entrances, in their center that poured little people towards him, into the street, from both sides. He casually placed his hands palm down, into the fleeing crowd. This position wasn't all that comfortable, so he decided to lean back a little, using the building behind for support. As he leaned his body back, he could feel the soft crumbling of the moldings and cornices. The corners of the broad building fell forward, as the center was pushed in by the boy's back. Uh-oh, it's going to go, he leaned back a little further, the building gave way as the girders bent back, the structure seemed to become soft and toppled, the boy fell back, laughing. He was now lying flat on his back, the bumps of rubble, cars and people under him were hardly felt by the boys thick skin. With his ears close to the ground, he could better hear their screams, without looking, he scooped up a handful of people and placed them on his chest and belly for observation. They were bewildered and tried to stand and run for safety, away from the boys gaze. Some appeared hurt, and unable to scurry, the boy flattened the lame ones with his index finger. He wasn't hungry anymore, but this was too much fun. He scooped his hand to catch them and watched as they tried to avoid his enormous hand, He dangled one, just holding it by it's leg.  Then he pinched the other leg, and holding the figure like a wish bone, between his two hands,  he gently split the figure in half, looking intently as first the clothing was sprayed red, then as he tore the figure, he could make out the intestines untwining, he ripped further and could make out the messy deep red purple blob or the lungs and heart. All this wrapped up in one neat little package he thought. The little buggers tickled as they scurried across his belly, his navel was a deep crater to the tiny figures, though the rest of his belly was relatively flat. Tired of lying down, he leaned up again, brushing the cars, trees and people off his back, he ran his hands through his silky blond hair. How'd the little buggers get up there? as he sat up the survivors on his chest and belly slid down and tumbled off. The building next to him resembled a saddle ready to be sat on, so the boy stood up...........continued on next page
