In the Belly of the Beast
Inside the tyrannosaur, Dr. Marshall gasped for breath in the foul air, and scrambled across the oozing rippling musculature of the stomach. Groping in the acid darkness, his hands closed over what felt like a breath mask. Not pausing to consider what such an unlikely item was doing inside a Cretaceous reptile, Dr. Marshall placed the mask on his face and inhaled deeply. He then began coughing and vomiting up the digestive juices and chime that filled the mask. Shaking the mask out, he placed it over his mouth a second time. Still nothing. Reaching out in the oozing stomach contents, he pushed aside what felt suspiciously like a hand, and found a tank with a valve. Turning the valve, he was rewarded with cool, refreshing air.
Leaning back in the churning digestive organ, Dr. Marshall paused to catch his breath. He could hear the steady thump of Grumpy’s heart, and feel his world rock back and forth as the dinosaur stomped through the jungle. I need a light, he thought. While he had lost his Zippo, he still had his All Purpose Emergency Light ™. Fishing it out of his pockets, he discovered happily that it was undamaged, and still in its packaging. This meant, of course, that it had never been charged. With a shout of disgust he threw away the useless devise, and then hurriedly replaced his mask, coughing.
Searching though the undulating stomach flesh, he found a metal rod. A few seconds of experimentation produced a bright beam of light. “A flashlight! It still works!” The camera focuses in on a gratuitous product placement of the flashlight’s brand.
The flashlight illuminates the massive digestive organ of the tyrant lizard: glistening flesh ripples and oozes, folding and collapsing. The floor of the cavern in covered in a oily, beige fluid, and the countless objects that Grumpy has eaten. Staring in horror, Dr. Marshall sees the partly digested scuba diver (who’s gear he has taken), several human body parts and bones, pieces of dinosaur, and dead Sleestacks. The dinosaur is also a practical Land of the Lost and Found, as everything from stone-age flint tools, to a half of a space suit, to even less recognizable, alien objects clutter the gigantic belly.
