the end

Taron got home without trouble. There were no park rangers or helpful woodsman with axes to save Rosie as they were all working from home or not working at all. He felt her struggles increase then fade and stop as he sat on the sofa and watched Netflix. Thank god for the internet.

It would take two days for all traces of the unlucky human to be digested and disposed of. Lucky Taron could stay inside, work from home and avoid anyone seeing his oversized gut as the local news reported a missing woman. He was even able to get a helpful neighbour to collect his food for him. This lockdown had forced Taron into murder but had also helped him get away with it.
