Furry little black egg. You rub it on your lips to check if it’s dry or wet. It’s wet. You’re grateful to know but now you wonder whether that was such a good idea. Now you’ve got furry little black egg juice on your lips. You lick them. It’s sticky and doesn’t come off cleanly. You grab an old torn tissue from your pocket and rub and lick and then rub. Feels like it’s mostly gone. But you have a sour taste in your mouth. The taste of a little furry black egg.

You place the egg back in the bowl, the nest, next to the others. The creatures are either too lazy or too busy to make their own nests these days. So they buy bowls from the shop and use those. And then they have more time to do their tax returns, or watch television shows about celebrities.
