After being swallowed by that giant you did what you usually
do: wallowed in your own self-pity while decrying the circumstances of the
universe that conspired to lock you in this terrible prison of a butthole to
which you were confined.
Then you nutted up and started thinking about how to get out
of there. Your first instinct was to
write a poorly phrased grant request that a federal agency could ignore, but
you stalled out on that plan when you realized you didn’t have any paper or
pens or mailboxes to send your work out through.
Next you considered constructing an elaborate verbal
argument aimed at getting the giant to poop you out, but you realized about
five minutes into that that the giant wouldn’t be able to hear you. You thought about using morse code to
communicate with him, then realized that you didn’t know Morse Code after erratically
kicking the side of the giant’s stomach for ten minutes.
Fortunately for you, the belly of a giant is actually a
relatively PH neutral environment, so you’ll be able to survive down there
easily, living off partially digested food and finding your way around with the
aid of a strange bioluminescent bacteria and flashlights left by previously
devoured bowel-goers. You’ll creep along
the passages with trepidation, sleeplessly wandering through the inner workings
of the giant with a voracity you usually reserve only for episodes of Downton
Abbey on your DVR at home.
You’ll wander through those passages for a day and a half,
marking your way with a pocket knife. By
the time you’ll be exhausted. Thirst
will cloud your mind and the scent of giant shit will grow overwhelming as your
steps grow heavier and heavier. But at
the bottom of it all, at the edge of the world, you’ll see a glimmer of light
coming through a starfish shaped orifice: the light at the end of the tunnel,
the sphincter.
You’ll stagger up to it and shove your body through: first
an arm. Then your head. Shoulders.
Like a new colt you’ll emerge from the giant’s butthole, covered in
feces and bile. You’ll emerge reeking,
drenched, blissfully alive, and topple thirty feet on to your back, losing
consciousness.
“Holy shit!” you’ll announce to a horse-sized mouse after
you wake up. “Where am I?”
The mouse will respond by licking your face. You’ll name him Crispin.
Congratulations on Traversing the Giant’s Butt!
