LovecraftianMadness

Lara clamped her hands over her mouth and tried her best to keep from shivering, crouching beneath the underbrush surrounding the base of the giant tree. Well, it wasn't really THE Giant Tree that she'd seen on the horizon once, it was just a normal tree around here, but it was still larger than any tree from her home world was, and in Lara's opinion, larger than any tree had a right to be. Of course, the relative sizes of trees were really the least of Lara's concerns at the present moment. She was more concerned with whether or not the giant woman who had come stomping through had seen her or not. She prayed to whatever or whoever might be listening that it was the latter. Tears began to run down Lara's cheeks as the woman's stomping got louder and louder. She'd been stuck in this awful, unexplainable place for three days, along with Dale, a man she had simply been passing by on the street, who had somehow ended up here with her. Dale was gone now. On the second day, while they

As a larger person in Felarya, I understand that the act of consuming smaller beings is a contentious issue, particularly given that the smaller people absolutely hate it and feel powerless to resist. However, it is a necessary part of our existence in this world. It is true that the smaller beings do not accept the situation and see it as a form of oppression and injustice. I acknowledge their frustration and the fact that it can be difficult to comprehend the act of consuming another being, but it is simply a matter of survival. In Felarya, size determines strength and power. The larger beings have evolved to become the dominant species and must consume smaller beings to maintain their position at the top of the food chain. Without the consumption of smaller beings, our species would struggle to survive, and our ecosystem would be thrown into chaos. However, I understand that the consumption of smaller beings can be seen as cruel and unfair. While it is not done out of malice, it can

This article is about the snack food. For other uses, see Mini(disambiguation). Minis are the main snack food produced by Peace Corp. They are best known for providing an ethical alternative to the Thrang’s traditional practice of eating Humans, thereby facilitating peace between Humans and Thrang. Today, due to the advent of miniaturization technology, Minis are available both in regular size, for consumption by Thrang, or in miniature size, for consumption by Humans.

Still Minis were the first snack food product sold by Peace Corp. However, due to changing popular demand, as well as the logistical difficulties associated with preserving Still Minis on long interstellar trips, Moving Minis are becoming far more

"Don't eat us!" yelled one of the humans. They tried and failed to escape the mass of webs they had been trapped within, only managing to tangle themselves further. Melany smiled. This trap had worked out so well! She counted twenty-three humans she had caught. Good thing she'd decided to station several web shooters in this part of the forest. It was great luck such a huge party of humans managed to stumble upon her traps and be beaten so thoroughly! "LET US GO!" screamed a woman from within one of the traps. "WE'RE NOT HERE TO HURT YOU!" "I know," she replied. "But I can't let you go, after all, you may not be here to hurt me, but I'm here to eat you!" The continuing screams and sobs did nothing to dissuade Melany from reaching into one of the webs and picking out a man, easily brushing through the silk that held the humans so tightly. "Wait!" it cried as the giant purple fairy raised him over her mouth and opened wide, "You like games, right? Don't you want to play a

1 year later: “Crisis, you’re still a predator! Safe Harbor is supposed to be a place where nobody gets eaten!” Jade was always seen as antisocial by others who didn’t understand her beliefs. But Crisis understood. She was the same as Beth had been, too horrified by the things those around her did to want to ever talk amicably with them, because doing so would in some small way give their awful beliefs legitimacy. It was an understandable position, Crisis thought, but one which she thought was somewhat misapplied in this case. “Think about it, Jade! How often do you think nekos in your territory eat neeras you’re supposed to be protecting? You can’t watch them all!” “I can’t stop that from happening! And neither can you! I’m sure plenty of nekos eat neeras in your territory, too!” “Yeah, it does happen sometimes! But Jade, you have to realize, most of the neko tribes who live in my territory have given up on that, seeing the benefits of my deal. Most of the time when my neeras get

Beth looked down at the many faces of the nekos below Crisis, from her vantage point on her left shoulder. Their faces were grim, seeming to hate her somewhat, though resigned to working with her. None of them spoke, until Chief Greencloud addressed them, standing on her right shoulder. “My friends!” He addressed them. The speech had been prepared on the way there. “I know this is a sudden change. I never thought something like this would happen! But we must respect Crisis’ wishes! If today has shown us anything, it is that we cannot afford to have her as an enemy! She could have killed us all today, and we all thought that she would, but she did not!” There were begrudging murmurs of agreement from the crowd below. Not everyone was in agreement, however. One young man piped up, his voice dripping with sarcasm. “Yeah? Great! She didn’t kill us, she only threatened to kill us! All hail the queen!” “Understand this!” boomed Greencloud, before Crisis could respond. “I don’t like this

Beth looked on in horror as she saw that Milly had not come back into the hut alone. Her hand was closed around the upper half of a human woman. The woman’s legs kicked wildly, and her screams were muffled by the hand. “Just so you know, you can kill yourself if you want, but it won’t change anything,” Milly said to Beth, ice in her voice. “It will be your fault, not mine. Don’t think you can pull the same stunt on me.” “I wasn’t planning to,” cried Beth. “But Milly, surely you understand-” “I don’t want to hear it!” she yelled. “You hurt my friend! You played with her emotions! I don’t know why she sees you as a friend in the first place!” “But Milly… I had a good reason! You don’t have to forgive me. But don’t hurt that woman! She has nothing to do with any of this!” “This human is my prey. I caught it fair and square. And you don’t get to tell me what to do. The only reason I won’t kill you right now is because I don’t want to hurt Crisis. But I’m fed up with you, and I’ll tell

After a long pause for thought, Crisis was on her way back to Milly’s hut. She didn’t really want to face Beth, but the fact remained that Beth needed her. She worried a bit, hoping nothing had gone wrong. She knew Milly wouldn’t eat Beth, but… Milly really wasn’t fond of nekos(except as snacks), she knew. Things could turn bad if she decided to mess with Rose. Or if Rose ate one of her tomthumbs. Or if Milly brought home another prey and Beth got bent out of shape, tried something drastic- Yeah. She really should get back there soon. She quickened her pace a little. However, she was suddenly distracted as she saw a neko in her path. Instinct took over. The neko cried “What the-” and tried to run, but it didn’t get two steps before she lunged and caught it. She opened her mouth and… and… She remembered her worries, remembered what Shelny had said. She stopped, closed her mouth, and took a closer look at the neko in her hand. He was wriggling, screaming, pleading for help, much as

Crisis sat under a tree, tears rolling down her face. She sensed nekos nearby, but she felt she wasn’t really that hungry yet. She felt so torn. One part of her was excited at the prospect of chasing them down, eating them, it would be so easy, she’d feel better afterward, but… she still felt sick to her stomach. She thought she could feel the bones of the previous meal sloshing about inside of her. That wasn’t exactly an appetizing thought. Who could she talk to? Who would listen? She didn't want to face Beth. She didn’t think they could forgive each other so soon, and she didn’t want to deal with… all that. Milly? Crisis knew she meant well, but… she didn’t really understand. None of her friends really did. She’d just repeated the same things that Crisis used to believe wholeheartedly, but now… it wasn’t convincing enough for her anymore, and Milly couldn’t understand why, so how could she help her work through this? Anna? She was fun to be around sometimes, but Crisis felt if she

“You didn’t have to do that!” “It was the decent thing to do,” replied Beth. “My life is not more valuable than yours, or anybody else’s. Anybody else’s. That includes tomthumbs.” “But if that’s true… maybe I deserved what was coming to me!” cried Rose. “I don’t believe in ‘an eye for an eye’. Not for things this horrible. The cycle has to end somewhere,” replied Beth. “People can change, or nothing ever gets better.” Rose sobbed for a while longer, until she calmed down a bit. “You’re right,” she said. “I’m done eating neeras and tomthumbs. I can’t live like that anymore. Not when I was saved from being eaten by the very same person who hates me for eating them.” “I don’t hate you, Rose. I just said I didn’t like you to make a point.” Beth put a hand on her shoulder. “And I don’t hate Crisis either. You were only doing what you were taught growing up. I just need you to change that. And I believe you will. That takes strength, to admit you were wrong and change. You’re a strong
