He grabs onto a branch and is hanging. He can either climb back up and be killed by the tiger or fall to his death. At that moment, he notices the most suculent, red strawberry on the branch. The only other ending would be a giant strawberry floating in space...and if I had come up with that the night I wrote the story, I just might have used it ;) The prequel to The Eater is up at my site. If you have time, please check it out and let me know what you think. I started writing a sequal to The Eater, but scrapped it because I decided to write a novel based around the character. The story that you read would probably occur in the middle of the novel. Mike: Thanks. I like to thow in a bit of comedy in my stories.

I like the bit of comedy about he "ruined his favorite shirt" in the middle of him trying to figure out what the hell is going on.

Though I thought being swallowed by a black hole to be anticlimatic. I always enjoy a nice alien abduction kind of story.  Though I thought being swallowed by a black hole to be anticlimatic.
