"You're not the one from the center!" I say, shaking the little fucker. "Who sent you?!"
The Pikachu is floppy and he doesn't respond. It's a red Pikachu.
When the centipede emerges from the exposed eye socket and down its cheek passed the dangling deflated eyeball it looks up at me with the curiosity of a newborn, or a cat with dementia. Much like the red Pikachu did when it was yellow.
"This Pikachu is cold," the centipede says.
"The sky did that," I tell the centipede. "The sky made the Pikachu cold."
"Curse the sky," the centipede commands.
"Curse you," I say quietly to the sky. "Curse you down to the fluffy whites."
Lightning strikes the campsite and a fire begins roaring and screaming. Much like the child when we made his Pikachu red instead of yellow.
Saliva splashes his swollen face. Stifling. Quiet.
There are several things in his pack.
Pellets. Pokeballs. Rare candy. A picture of a middle aged women I will masturbate to later.
"We all have needs, don't we?" I ask the centipede.
"Pikachu need hot," the centipede replies. "Fire hot."
"Fire hot," I say. "Fire make Pikachu hot."
"Blacken Pikachu," we say in unison. "Make Pikachu black."
I sharpen a stick and jam it into the floppy thing's anus until it is no longer floppy. It cooks like meat cooks like when you jam it into a fire.
The licking flames bouncing reflections off my cornea. Screams bounce off the quiet night forest. He's trying to crawl away, but he's not going very fast and he won't get very far. Not far at all, given the state of his legbones.
The centipede feeds its hunger and I feed my lust.
"Centipedes don't exist in this reality," it tells me as it disappears into the newly blackened Pikachu. "There's probably a centipede type pokemon, but if there isn't, and one appears in a future generation, I take all the credit for it. That was my idea."
His words echo and fade into the Blackened Pikachu's charred cavities.
"Oh boy," I say, but it falls on deaf ears. Ejaculate sizzling on the fire. The screams getting louder. "It's gonna be a long night."
