Exposure Therapy
Title: Fae's Accidental Gulp
Ben finds himself standing before the imposing figure of Fae, his heart racing with anticipation and fear. He's heard tales of her insatiable appetite, and the thought of being swallowed whole by this giantess terrifies him. Yet, he's come seeking help—to confront his irrational fear and reclaim his life from it.
Fae, sensing his trepidation, offers a unique solution: exposure therapy. She explains that the only way to overcome fear is to face it head-on. And so, she reassures him that she won't harm him and invites him to step inside her mouth. Ben hesitates but takes a tentative step forward.
As he stands there, surrounded by Fae's towering presence, he feels a sudden rush of warm air. To his horror, he realizes that Fae has accidentally smelled him—and she likes what she smells. The realization sends shivers down his spine as he watches her struggle to contain her hunger.
Despite her best efforts, Fae cannot resist the temptation any longer. With a swift motion, she reaches out and scoops up Ben, bringing him closer to her gaping maw. As he feels himself being lifted off the ground, he panics and tries to wriggle free. But it's no use; he's completely helpless in Fae's grasp.
Before he knows it, he finds himself being swished around in her mouth. The sensation is both terrifying and exhilarating as he feels the wet warmth of her tongue against his skin. Just when he thinks it can't get any worse, Fae accidentally swallows him whole.
Inside her stomach, Ben feels a sense of calm wash over him. The darkness is soothing, and he can't help but wonder if this is what it feels like to truly surrender to something. As he lies there, he starts to hear Fae's contented murmurs from outside his new home.
Suddenly, he feels a familiar sensation—the weight of his glasses. To his amazement, Fae has burped him up, spitting out his glasses on the ground. She looks at him with surprise but also an air of triumph. It seems that her exposure therapy has worked—Ben has faced his fear and survived.
As they both catch their breath, Fae offers Ben a reassuring smile. He hesitates for a moment before stepping forward and returning her smile. Perhaps there's hope for him after all.
