Chapter 2 - The belly of the beast

His chest expanded and contracted, the flavor of the dog's acrid flesh still faint on his tongue. Relief lovely and ephemeral,The gnawing emptiness that had driven him down into a primitive, mindless frenzy yet his relief was short lived as his head begun aching as it was being melted

A low growl rumbled in his belly. 

He murmured to himself, in a husky tone, "What the hell??" coughed,as black spittle dropped from his lips,"what... is.. going..on"

He suddenly collapsed to his knees, clutching at his chest a burning and sharp pain went through his heart making feel his heart getting slower.

A painful heat built up in his body, but it was as cold as a ice yet it burnt. He realized, sickly that the flesh of the creature was corrosive. His heart clenched, locked tight, and then convulsed again. making He vomit, scraping his own ribs to try to pull the pain loose.

Between the pain and his eyes crying a black substance his vision felt a light as he slowly could see something vast out what little light he had been able to see in this world. Above him hovered a mountain of flesh, a hive of mouths, each drooling, snapping wetly at the air. A huge horror Watching.

"I....FOUND....YOU...", the creature said as it stared it him

Before he could process anything monster opened Its mouths as many tongues coiled up, coiled around him, and began dragging him to one of its gaping maws.'gulp' it chewed him and as he beat and screamed against the inside of the mouth with what strength he had left, the poison had already disintegrated his strength from inside. He died crushed by the monster's teeth 

It swallowed.

And in a few seconds his body slid into the furnace of acid 

The thought broke His corpse compressed and then then burst

 Not with blood but with a thick black substance like melted tar. It poured from his body

His brain burned as it reconfigured itself, his bones reconstructed themselves like lightening from his skull. His very cells ripped themselves apart and re-formed 'ad infinitum'

He could not screamed yet as his body monstrously reconstructed he certainly would have.

His blood streamed a dark hue, yet his body simply refused to die His skin melted and sloughed off in ragged sheets of flesh and then re-grew but not in the same tortured space. His bones cracked again snapped twisted and yet, they still reformed denser ,stronger. His very nerves 'rewired' themselves and pushed to the forefront the budding hot coals of anguish of every second he was maligned.

He pounded against the end of the warm, fleshy walls of the Monster's stomach, his nails eroding off his fingertips. And still they grew back, jagged and sharp only to rip off again as he clawed He bit into the stomach wall desperate gnashing with his mouth filling with burning acid and melting his flesh. He coughed and vomited but bit again like a rabid animal.

The Monster rumbled and twisted its belly violently around him trying to crush him like pulp.

Had he been conscious he might have simply died to end this suffering, and yet his very own body refused him the right of death.

But in front of his eyes, faces he could no longer recognise, voices he doesn't remember, broken shards of memories of a life not his anymore and even in this nightmare he still could not hear his name.

He started to laugh , a ragged and choking laugh. Tears black as tar, streamed down his face, mixing with bile.

"This is my eternity. in life and Death" He cried in his mind as the memories faded leaving him in and empty void

Outside his mind, the Monster shuddered as bloated form staggered. Other Monsters, those with crawling limbs, those that whispered, sensing something was wrong. They stopped to watch as the colossal, many-mouthed beast clawed at its own gut and roared.

Inside, the man was still climbing, clawing at walls slick with acid. His hands blistered, healed, and blistered again

His muscles screamed, his skin bubbled peeled, and re-grew.

The Monster jerked. Making the man slip and fall back into the searing lake of acid. His flesh dissolved from the bones behind his flesh then it all re formed back. His brain dissolved, and reformed, dissolving again and again.

And then 

He rose.

For this time, the Monster inside the Beast did not crawl. It stood still as his arms were covered by the Dark substance

His hands had turned dark and he begun clawing tearing through the Monster's belly giving a menacle smile. again and again he tore the huge beast from the inside out. He then emerged bursting out as the Monster fell tearing it's own stomach open. The other Monsters which were watching rushed and began devouring it. whatever the man had become did as well biting it and eating it

As the beast was consumed alive a single Feather fell from the sky
