"You are food. Those muscles you flex to walk, lift, and talk? They're patties o
f meat topped with chewy tendon. That skin you've paid so much attention to in m
irrors? It's delicious to the right tongues, a casserole of succulent tissue. An
d those bones that give you the strength to make your way in the world? They rat
tle between teeth as the marrow is sucked down slobbering throats. These facts a
re unpleasant but useful. There are things out there, you see, that don't cower
in holes to be captured by us and cooked over our fires. These things have their
own ways of trapping their kills, their own fires, their own appetites."
