“I think I can dig earth now. I felt like some information about myself came into my mind when I finished changing. I can dig a hole and walk underground just like a normal earthworm.”
“And how you do that?”
“Do you want to see? It’s better than explaining.”
They went to their backyard and then Mary laid on the ground. She opened her mouth and started to force her face against the ground. Soon Jeff saw his wife’s head entering the ground. In a few minutes he saw his wife disappearing under the earth. There was only a smooth ground where she entered. After some time, he saw when the ground started moving some meters away and he saw Mary emerging again. He noticed that she was eating the ground around her while widening the hole. When it was wide enough, she squeezed her body out of the ground slowly.
“Are you stuck?”
“No. I ate all the ground around here and now it is leaving my body.”
“Are you pooping earth?”
“That’s how a worm works! I eat the ground and everything that’s nutritious come into my body. What’s left is put behind me.
Mary finished leaving the hole and Jeff saw that there was no hole anymore.
“That’s amazing. Do you think you can do that on our entire backyard? I know that worms fertilize the soil.”
“I think so, but not right now. I did just a little demonstration. Now let’s go inside, I need a shower.”
They went together to the shower. When Mary entered the shower, Jeff saw all the earth over her skin just fall. Then Mary opened her mouth and let the water inside it.
“What are you doing?” Jeff asked.
“I have plans for tonight and can’t have earth inside me.”
Jeff saw his wife’s belly fill with water and soon she released a dirty water through her other side. She did that again and again until the water came out clean.
“Done. Now I am as clean as I need.”
“Is your digestive system that simple? You just ran a lot of water through it.”
“It is. Tomorrow morning, I will bury myself on the ground to have some breakfast. I think I need to be underground for about four hours to satisfy myself.”
Then Mary approached Jeff and kissed him. They kissed under the shower for some time while Jeff felt her body with his hands.
“Your body is still slick. You have this mucus all over your skin.”
“That’s normal. My body has to be wet all the time.”
“And how we will sleep today? Are you going to dry over the night?”
“I will just drink some water. That’s enough. Now there is another part of myself that I didn’t tell you about.”
“What it is? Do you have some super power?”
“Nope. I am just a worm. But I don’t know if you know what it really means.”
