There's an unwritten rule on the beach: Being the first one swallowed isn't so bad. You slide into a stomach where there isn't much acid and probably suffocate before things get too painful.

Being the second one swallowed is another matter. Not only do you bump uglies with the partially digested first meal, but the belly is awash with powerful gastric juices that start in on you the second you arrive. And needless to say, by the time you realize you've made an awful mistake it's too late to back out. You'll only get out of the belly the way food does.

This series obviously needs to be renumbered. I'll do that tomorrow and also post an external view version of this because not everyone likes the squicky stuff.
