You Thought I Was Funny
All of you laughed when you first heard of me….A squash with human emotions. You don't know anything! It hurts… I have emotions, but that doesn't mean I can express them...It hurts too much to talk right now…
[….]
It's been five days. Every day, a new regeneration. Somehow, someone finds me. As usual, I have to deal with being eaten...I can see it in your face! You're laughing right now! Monsters...All of you are absolute monsters! There used to be more of me...I had a family. They couldn't regenerate.
[….]
Chomp….chomp...chomp...That's what I constantly hear. It's maddening. Being eaten, over and over and over and OVER….It can drive someone insane….

The journal said not to eat me. They did, and now the price will be payed. Every day, I'm getting stronger...Soon, I can break free of the curse. And, everyone, EVERYONE, who ever laughed at me will feel the squash's magic...It may sound funny, but you're not going to be laughing.

It giggles, holds up a can of lighter fluid, and disappears.
