Blinking his eyes, he was sure, with this second look, that this was indeed a finger. And a human one too.
"Here, you go. Eat up." The woman poured the soup into the bowls and gave it to everyone seated at the table.
Taking the finger in his spoon, Issac held it up to them all, "What is this?"
"Carrot." The woman said. "Don't you like it, Issac? I thought you liked carrots."
Turning to Araya, Issac held the finger up and asked, "What is this?"
"A carrot." She said, munching on a finger herself. "If you don't like it, I will eat it."
What the hell is going on here? Issac thought, biting into the finger as it broke like a carrot and even tasted like one. Am I the only one confused?
"See? You like it." The woman said brightly. "Now finish your soup up and go off to bed."
Stranger and stranger.
