The Substitute

The Kwan of the Hive-a of the Fifth Mark watched the young Wraith female march purposefully into Her Room of Thrones

“Kwan of Our Great Hive.” The young Wraith bowed her head a fraction, potential bearer of eggs to the Bearer of Eggs.

“Kelda-to-be.” The Kwan adorned herself across Her Throne, draping a long arm over the back and regarded the heir-in-waiting steadily. “What?”

“Many of our kind have awoken. The Herd is inadequate for our needs. I have a suggestion: we should eat the Herd’s livestock.”

The Kwan leaned forward. “You are suggesting that we eat the crud on which the Herd feed?”

“It is of base nutritional quality, but would be sufficient.”

A Wraith -- Her own child -- advocating vegetarianism.

Intolerable

So She ate her.

The End.

A vegetarian Wraith? Now there's a thought.

Maybe I'm strange, but this made me laugh. Well done minimalism.

I was expecting something serious until I got to the last line. *laughs* A dark and funny look at Wraith society.

LOL

Was I supposed to find that funny or am I just a "sick and sad individual"?

*shrugs*

Brilliantly unexpected and beautiful in the set up!
