Aven passed by a trash can and saw it. An opened, but only slightly eaten, package of gummy worms sitting near the top. They caught her eye and she couldn’t pass it by. Her only thought was how great it would be to add it to her stash. Aven carefully looked around to make sure nobody was around to watch before going for them.

When Aven reached for the candy, it fell further into the trash and she had to reach in deeper for it. It just kept falling further and further in until Aven finally grabbed it. She yanked it out and wiped some disgusting stuff she got on her arm off on her shirt.

“Oh my god, you fucking pig!”

To her horror, Aven turned around to see Beatrice with her phone out, filming her with a wicked smile. 

“I always knew you ate garbage, but I was more right than I thought!”

“No!” she cried. “Erase it!”

“I was thinking about posting it to all my socials, actually,” Beatrice smiled, playing back Aven rummaging through the garbage can.

“Please!” Aven cried again, tears in her eyes.

“How does the title ‘Trashy Trans Eats What They Are’ sound to you? I think my followers are going to eat it up.” She looked at Aven still holding the gummy worms with disgust. “Maybe not as fast as you’ll eat that garbage up.”

“Please,” Aven sobbed, dropping to her knees. “Please don’t! I’ll never leave my house again! I’ll never eat again if you want! Just please don’t spread that!”

Beatrice looked down at her, ready to post the video all over the internet, when she felt something. She felt… a bit sorry for Aven. She had a problem and here Beatrice was ready to capitalize on it. Yes, it’s what she normally did, but… maybe this was a bit too far. For the first time in a long time, she reconsidered her actions.

“Ugh, whatever,” Beatrice snarled, deleting the video right in front of Aven. “It’s not worth posting. Probably won’t even get that many views anyway. You’re not photogenic like me.”

“Wait… you-”

“Just shut up,” Beatrice snapped, yanking the bag of gummy worms out of her hand and walking away. “And find some food that’s not fucking garbage. Unless you want someone videotaping you fishing shit out of the trash.”
