Leviathan’s Belly

Don’t you feel safe down here? Don’t you feel protected? Like we’re being carried along in the belly of Leviathan?


Maybe we’re just hiding out. Fleeing God, like Jonah. And this is the only place we can’t hear God’s call. Only somewhere this deep. This dark. This silent.

It’s not completely silent. What’s that rumbling?


Is there supposed to be a lesson to all this? Is it supposed to be leading somewhere?

It’s a labyrinth. Everywhere’s a labyrinth for us.

The way it winds. Like the intestines. Like digestive system.

What’s being digested? Us, of course. In the belly of Leviathan.


Are those rats?

They’re pink … hairless.

Are they moles?

I think they’re mole-rats. The most disgusting creatures alive.


Can you smell something? Gas? That’s just the mole rats, farting. They’re disgusting creatures.
