I break the beacon with my bare hands. They can’t know where I am precisely in the stomach. No reason to make their task easier.

I have three options, as I see it. One is unthinkable: drop from the roof of my prison, and risk the intestinal tract, the colon, and all the rest. There’s no guarantee that if I drop, I’ll be better off. What if I make it all the way to the end of the track, then get flushed down the toilet? The thought of it almost makes me laugh. This is the stuff of low comedy, and now it might be my choice of death.

My second choice is to take the pill. The option itself makes me want to vomit. To continue to stay at size, undetectable. To hide from the doctor inside the stomach. But how long can I last? I don’t have enough nutrition packets to last more than a few days. And The Whale won’t forget about me. It will just be a matter of time before he finds me and terminates me.

My third option is to allow the reversal to take place as planned. To try to fight off the doctor. To play for time, and then rip this bastard’s guts out from the inside out.

It isn’t much of a choice.

I check my watch. Two hours until the reversal begins. I’ll need my sleep.
