- Jester, get away! - I shouted to him and he jumped away from the area. I jumped upwards and just as I did, from the ground underneath me, I could see a large semi opened mouth full of big teeth coming towards me.
The mouth caught me mid air but I grabbed the top of it with my hands pulling it down and placed my feet at the bottom of the mouth, stopping it from opening any further and swallow me.
- Woah! A giant man eating wurm? That is as large as a tall building! - said Jester surpised with the enormous wurm coming out of the ground. Only half of it was out of the ground by then.
The pressure and force of the creature, kept pulling me upwards into the air until the creature reached its limit. I could say I was roughly 400m in the air from the ground. This wurm was absolutely gigantic that even I was surprised that such a being existed. After all, I had never seen this creatures here. Maybe this wurm was awaken by the cheer force of me falling.
- Hey Jake!!! Do you need help or are you good? - Jester asked but I could not hear him at all, as I was very high in the air. - Nah... He will be fine... - Jester stated, sitting down on a rock and starting to open a strange bag.
The wurm kept shaking trying to open its mouth while I was forcing it to close it instead. The gigantic creature tilted forwards and with cheer force, it dragged me down towards the ground where we both crashed. It made me hit with my back on the ground and it stomped me with its mouth while I was still holding on to it, creating a large crater. The creature lifted itself up once again while I was still laying down on the ground looking up to it. I was in silence admiring this magestic being and all I could hear was crunching noises. The creature screeched and tilted down dropping once again towards me but this time with its mouth fully opened.
I got up and was ready to punch it as it was dropping down but suddenly a voice called me.
- Yo! Jake! Can you handle that alone or shall I help you out mate? - Jester asked me while crunching something that was making loud noises inside his mouth.
- I will be just fine! - I stated before I realising that he was eating. - Wait!!! What are you eating? - I asked very annoyed and shocked while the wurm was extremely close to me and still dropping very fast.
- Erm! Popcorn! - Jester replied while placing some of the popcorn inside his mouth and crunching it. Seeing him eating those popcorn was making my mouth watering.
- WHERE DID YOU GET THE POPCORN??? - I asked out loud very angry at Jester.
- I dunno... I grabbed them from my pocket I guess... - Jester replied while putting some more popcorn inside his mouth and crushing the empty bag with his left hand. - Sorry mate but I already finished eating them... You can have these last one if you want? - He replied with a giggle from his silly face.
- YOU MOTHER F***** - I yelled but the wurm crushed on me eating me whole. Then the large creature lifted itself once again and swalled me. I could feel myself dropping through its long throat until I reached the stomach.
- Damn! I wasn´t expecting that. Well friends come friends go. I guess I will just go home then... - said Jester looking at the wurm swalling me.
After some time being dragged within the throat of the creature, I reached the stomach and I was able to stand. Being inside was disgusting, I could see corpses of animals and other smaller animals and many bones and skulls. The stomach was also full of a weird sticky and smelly liquid.
- For F*** sake... I got my suit all dirty and messy. This thing is going to take a while to dry out after a good wash... I guess after I get myself out of this situation I will just go home and wash up. Wait... I am pretty sure I have forgotten something... - I remembered while still inside the wurm´s stomach.
- But what was it? - I questioned myself while still confused. I could feel the wurm making some wierd movements but I had no idea what was going on outside. After some time of thinking I realised what had happened.
- JESTER!!! I MADE A MISTAKE!!! I CANNOT HANDLE THIS PRESSURE IN MY HEAD!!! THIS IS JUST TO HARD TO HANDLE!!!! - I shouted as loud as I could.
- What do you mean mate? - Jester asked scratching is head absolutely clueless and confused.
Suddenly a massive hole opens from the middle of the wurm causing blood and parts of flesh to splat everywhere towards Jester, who stepped backwards watching the green blood fall in front of him just where he was standing a few steps back.
The gigantic wurm started to fall down in pain causing dust to rise in the air as I screamed.
- I FORGOT TO REMOVE THE LAST BOAR MEAT WE HAD FROM THE FIRE! WWWWWHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!! - I shouted falling on my knees and placing my hands on each side of my face and screaming in despair while looking up into the sky.
- YOU WHAT? - yelled Jester shocked by what I had just said.
I stood there on my knees and depressed shouting to myself - I AM HOPELESS! I AM HOPELESS! I AM HOPELESS!
- You idiot! That was the last boar meat... That meat is rare in this place... took us 6 months to find it... - yelled Jester stomping many times his right foot on the ground.
- I SCREW UP OKAY!!! This affects me more than you! It was all my fault! - I yelled slowly standing up.
The large wurm suddenly started to move again and charged towards me head on while I had my back turned to it. The creature opened its big mouth full of sharp teeth and screeched, ready to swallow me once more. I was extremely annoyed with what I had done, so I turned around, jumped up just high enough and punched it at the front of its head slighly above the mouth of the wurm.
- SHUT UP! I AM ALREADY ANNOYED! - I shouted to the wurm. Due to the power I put into the punch, it caused the wurm to freeze paralysed in pain and suddenly the whole body of the creature started to break into smaller parts and blood spraying everywhere.
- Damn mate! That was one big ass wurm. - said Jester as he was walking in my direction. - OH! GOD! EWW! YOU STINK! - he stated covering his nose and turning around ready to throw up.
- Jake! Now that you burnt the last meat we had, what are you going to eat? - asked Jester cleaning the dust from his clothes.
- I don´t know! I am still pissed about it! Wait!! I have an idea! - I replied while turning around and looking behind me.
A few minutes later, after some time walking, we were already halfway home. Jester scratched his head looking at me and asked.
- Want me to help you carry that? - asked Jester.
- Nah I will be just fine! - I answered while lifting with one hand a massive part of the wurm´s body.
- Are you really going to eat that? - asked Jester once more. - That looks funny and stinks like rotten corpses.
- If we want to survive, we need to eat what ever we can find. I never tried this, so it could taste great after being roasted in the fire. - I stated while carrying the large meat with one hand.
We arrived home just as the sun was dawning and the skies were orange. I placed the large meat on the ground and with my hand fully stretched and quick swings, I divided the wurm meat into smaller pieces and one by one I placed the small parts inside a large wooden container I had created. I covered the meat with some thick salt and closed the container. Then, I removed the burnt boar meat from the fire, and grabbed the last part of that wurm meat I didn´t place inside the container and placed it to roast. While waiting for the meat to roast, I undressed the astronaut suit and placed it outside so I could wash it up the next day. After some time, the meat was ready to be eaten. I ate it with joy.
- Oh man, this tastes better than I expected. It is so delicious! - I stated while I was biting and removing big chunks of meat with my mouth. - Do you want some? - I asked Jester that was laying down.
- Nah, you can have it all! - he stated looking at me with a worrisome look on his face.
- Say, Jake! Do you think we will ever get out of this place? After all, as been almost 5 years since we arrived here. - asked Jester looking at me very serious.
I looked to the side then looked up to the stars through the small hole on the roof.
- To be honest, I don´t really know. Why are you asking that out of the sudden? - I asked Jester, while dropping the rest of the meat that I was eating on the floor.
Jester looked at the meat falling and opened his mouth surprised with my action. Then he looked up to the roof while laying down with his arms at the back of his head like a pillow.
- I was just curious! - he said while closing his eyes.
I grabbed a bucket I had close to me, filled it with water I had collected in a large container from the rain and threw the water to the fire, causing it to die out. I walked towards my bed and lay down with my arms also serving as a pillow. Then I closed my eyes and said.
- Good night Friend.
Jester opened one of his eyes, looked to me and smiled. Then he closed his eye once again and we both fell asleep.
