Will dove deep under the murky ocean of milk. He kicked and swam hard back to what he hoped was the surface. He broke above milk and he gasped thankful gulps of air. A huge way shoved him to the side and threatened to take him under. The next time he surfaced he was up inside the center of a cereal bit. Wiping the milk from his eyes he realized the wave had been caused by Jane scooping up another spoonful of cereal.
Jane crunched on the spoonful of cereal, enjoying the new flavor. Had she not been half asleep she might've noticed that there was something out of the ordinary about what she was eating. She might've noticed the tiny creature hanging for dear life to a bit of cereal. But she hadn't.
Then the Phone rang.
"I'll get it."
Rather than leaving her meal at the table , she picked up the bowl and carried it with her as she answered the phone.
" Hello? Oh, hi, Leah."
Jane stirred her cereal causing a Whirlpool effect. Will hung on for dear life and cried out "PLEASE STOP!!"
But between Jane's attention on her conversation and the sound from the radio, his cry fell on deaf ears.
"No, no, I've been up for a while. "
Jane scooped up a spoonful of cereal and held it too her mouth as she listened to the conversation on the other end of the line.
"Really? I'm surprised her mother let her do that."
A moment later the spoonful was in her mouth. She chewed slowly as she listened intently. She glanced at the clock on the wall and swallowed.
"Oh My. I didn't realize how late it was. Talk to you later, Leah." She hung up the phone.
Had she just eaten Will, or was he still in the bowl?
