Hi, um, I'm kinda new here, so if I get something wrong, please tell me. I'd like to know.
...
"Now wash your hands with soap", my mum reminds me. "Wash your face the same too, Kiev", she adds, as I grin after taking one last bite. I can feel the thin, already cooling wetness, smeared around my mouth and chin.
"Well, it's not my fault I got a bone". - trying to eat all the meat around it, without breaking at least half the conventions on table manners, was difficult. And, this particular bone was of the thick kind, with lots of marrow in the middle, just the way I liked it. I'd picked a piece with bone, on purpose and it was entirely my fault.
Now, all that was left of my meal was a bone sucked dry, with the surrounding inedible jelly-like stuff left around it. The odd shape reminded me of the sheep hearts we tried eating once. Of course, it tasted fine, but only worked as a kind of quick-fix, if we were really hungry. The pack didn't have long to sit around in the fridge, since the three of us finished it all in the one sitting. I ate one, my mum and older brother had two each. Now, we always have two packs sitting in the fridge, just in case.
Sometimes Autry, my older brother, will come home tired from university, and eat one, until my mum comes home from the hospital. Then we'll all head over to Antique, a small café in the next town, where they'll give us what we really want.
It always comes in a brown-paper bag, wrapped in baking paper, to keep anything from seeping out. Of course, as with animal meats, it is drained first, but it's probably wrapped like that, as a precaution anyway.
And when we get back home again, for dinner, we all have a small piece of the package, to get us through the next morning.
Because, after all, nothing beats human meat.

Hi~
So it's the boring author here to ask you of your opinion. I know that this chapter is particularly short, but the others will hopefully be longer, but perhaps not as long as many of you would like. I usually aim only for about 500 or more words per chapter(not including my little soliloquies at the start and end of each chapter). Also, if any of you believe that I could possibly be breaking a guideline, please let me know, because I really don't like the idea of having my account deleted.
And I know I'm a terrible author, because I have yet to envision the ending for this story(isn't it just strange when you're so sure of the start and middle, but not the ending?). All ideas and suggestions are gratefully welcome and I will consider each and every one of them (if I get any anyway TT TT)
Till next time,
STARdini
