    Summary

    “So, I was thinking about why I’ve been throwing up. I think some of it is the actual, physical properties of the taumoeba, but I honestly think half the battle is the taste. See, humans use smell and taste to tell us if food is going to make us sick, like it’s moldy or smells weird, that sends a signal for disgust to our brains to stop us from eating it, and that triggers nausea.”

    “I feel this way about all human food,” I say, and Grace rolls its eyes.

    “Sure. But I think my brain is being overprotective about the taumoeba. It’s the same reason why human kids get picky or people throw up during pregnancy, even when the food they’re eating is perfectly edible. My brain is signalling to me that I shouldn’t want it in my body, mostly because -- well, I don’t. It smells like mildew and algae and has the texture of chia seed pudding that was forgotten at the back of a fridge. But that’s making me nauseous when I even think about putting it in my mouth, which makes me more likely to throw up.”

    “But how would you eat without using your mouth?” I ask.

    Grace grins at me. “That, my friend, is exactly the question I’ve been asking myself. And I think the answer might be something called a nasogastric tube."

    Summary

    Persephone lets out a quiet laugh. Beside her, the girl has gone stiff, her eyes glazed over as she’s taken somewhere else.

    “I can’t remember the last time I heard him sing like that,” says Persephone, and the smile slips off her face.

    When the girl speaks, her voice is little more than a whisper. “A field of flowers,” she breathes, bringing one hand to her throat. Something about the words makes her sob again.

    //

    Persephone and Eurydice sit together when the workers are sleeping, and Persephone realizes just how much they’re alike.
