  > Look around
  The land up here is dry and dusty. Little bristly bushes have sprung up through the cracks in the hard clay earth. There are footprints of people everywhere, and some kind of slithering tracks near the bushes. A family of buzz birds is making a ruckus nearby.
  The sun may be sleeping, but your hunt for food will continue into the night.
  
  The hunter is here on the mesa top, spear in hand, staring at you.
  
  > eat hunter
  You leap for the hunter, mouth open, claws spread.
  The hunter lunges with its spear, but you slap it away with your foot before sinking your teeth into its chest. The spear clatters to the ground and you and the hunter follow it, sending up a huge cloud of dust as you land.
  It takes a few minutes to polish it off, but when you're done your stomach is full. Completely. Not to say that you can't just make it bigger when you eat more, but in its current form, it's full. You have grown immensely, adding almost the whole mass of the human to yours.
  
  Distension is a natural thing for a mangiasaur's belly, but you are aware of your stomach returning to normal as you process your excess of food.

  > eat the buzz birds
  (Your score has increased by 1)
  You approach the buzz birds cautiously, more than a little worried about what might happen if they all decided to fight you at once. When you are close enough, you leap at the nearest one, catching its gangly feet in your mouth as the rest of the family flies off, buzzing loudly. After a minute of wrestling with this buzz bird, you can eat your meal in silence.

  > look at the spear
  The hunter's spear is its only possession. It's a wooden stick with a rock strapped to one end. The spearhead is carved to a wicked point. The other end of the spear is carved with an intricate pattern.
  
  While you're by no means starving, You could certainly fit a bit more food in there.
  
  > eat the spear
  The hunter's spear is inanimate, and easy to reach, but still manages to be one of the most difficult to eat things you've ever encountered. The spear sits uncomfortably lodged between your throat and stomach. You will probably not be able to digest this.
  
  > drop the spear
  Drop what?
  
  A slither hopper is stirring up dust nearby, until the cloud envelopes it and it springs off the ground to start slithering again.
  
  > Vomit
  You gag and the spear comes flying out, bottom end first. You won't be able to use it as a weapon, but at least your gut is clear. You could really go for some food to fill that void.

  Your belly rumbles. You are seriously hungry.
  
  > eat the hopper
  (Your score has increased by 1)
  Their hides are tough, making them hard to disable, hard to chew, and hard to swallow. What little bits of meat you get from them, though, are quite tasty!
  A good meal. You'll be satisfied for a while now.

  > examine the tracks
  The tracks of various creatures can be seen in the dust here. The human footprints mostly lead to a small hole next to a large rock and the slither hoppers leave lines with large gaps leading to and from bristle bushes.
  
  > examine the bushes
  The birstle bushes are almost completely colorless. They're spiky and gnarled. Some have slither hoppers resting in the shade under them.
  
  The rumbling in your stomach crescendos. You are overdue for a meal.

  > look at the hole
  A small hole in the ground next to a large, flat rock. It's very round but with little nubs carved all around the inside.
  
  > look at the nubs
  You see no such thing.
  
  A slither hopper is stirring up dust nearby, until the cloud envelopes it and it springs off the ground to start slithering again.

  The food fills that last bit of space in your powerful belly.

  > examine the rock
  The flat rock is laying on the ground. It's the only one of its kind around, and looks as though it was carved from the mesa itself.
  
  > burp on rock
  I don't understand what you want me to do with flat rock.
  
  You give a nice burp as your belly digests its contents. Always making room for more!

  You are hungry. It is time to eat.
  
  > eat the spear
  You won't be able to get anything down with this spear in the way.
  
  A slither hopper is stirring up dust nearby, until the cloud envelopes it and it springs off the ground to start slithering again.
  
  > Vomit in hole
  You gag and force the spear back up, aiming the bottom at the small hole. Your aim is true, and the spear is wedged into the hole, standing straight up. Then the flat rock begins to move.
