I lay in my cave and rested. I would need all my strength for my next hunt, if I hoped to eat again. I was hust starting to doze off when I heard a rumbling sound, like a very, very big monster lumbering through the forest and crushing trees and things in its path.
 I peeked out of my cave, and saw that I was right. It was a giant squid slithering around on land, a squid bigger than a house, taller than a tree, way bigger than me. I retreated deeper into my cave, for I knew from experience that bigger monsters often ate smaller monsters. Just the same old foodchain thing you see everywhere. I was used to it, although I was much bigger than any human, I was also smaller than a lot of other monsters. I hoped this big guy wouldn't notice me. Unfortunately, a breeze blew my scent to the squid. His mouth started watering when he smelled it.
"Mmm, someone smells tasty," he said.
He slithered over to my cave and reached inside. I bit his tentacle.
"Ow! Hey!" he said. "You're quite the fiesty little snack, aren't you? But I'm feisty too."
He smacked me with his tentacle, so hard I was knocked off my feet. Then he wrapped his tentacle around me, snake-like, and pulled me out. He looked at me and laughed.
"Aww, you're so adorable and fuzzy! You're no monster, you're just a cute little kitten! Ha ha ha!" He mockingly petted me as though I really was a kitten. I angrily snapped at him, my teeth missing him by inches. "Hey! No fighting, no biting," he said, wrapping a tentacle around my snout, clamping my jaws shut.
 Then he licked me. A shiver ran down my spine. I always hated it when bigger monsters did this to me...
 "Mmm, yummy!" he said. And he licked me again, and again. Soon my fur was all soggy with his salivia. I snarled savagely, but he held me fast, and I couldn't move.
 Then he put me into his mouth and swallowed me alive.
 Muscles squeezed me down his gullet and popped me into his stomach.
 I had to get out of here before I got digested.
So I started vicously clawing and tearing and slashing at the inside of the giant squid's stomach. He screamed with pain, and finally spat me out. I saw him clutching his stomach and moaning. "That's what happens when you don't chew your food properly," I said coldly. "Your food chews you instead."
I threw myself at him and sank my teeth into his throat.
He fell dead with a ground-shaking crash.
I started to eat.
I didn't stop until some other monsters chased me away and stole my giant meal. But I had already eaten my fill. I returned to my cave, curled up and went to sleep.
