Jiang’s head now appeared as just a skull and got discarded with the rest of the bones. While a cook deboned May’s face to drop the meat back into the pot as someone took Irene’s head to be stuffed by Arthur. With the buffet cleared, the staff dragged Julie’s and the spit girl’s brown carcasses to fill it once again. Dan and the cooks finished their plating as the next set of meatgirls took their spots on the stations. She noticed Lily, who waved to them as she jumped into the pot to swim in her sister’s meat.

The evening went by, the group of now five meat friends chatted around mostly between themselves. Sometimes they shared anecdotes with the customers feasting on their dead friends, other times with the staff, Melody or Dan in the main room, Arthur in the souvenir shop, or Annie who had joined her family to eat as they opened. Lara noticed the two sister statues who arrived late, both in the nude.

As the five chatted together, they were slowly picked for cooking stations one by one. First Gina with her fit body for the spit, she survived for a while and had very tender flesh. Thirty minutes later Candice walked to the oven, her slightly round body made for perfectly marbled slices. And Jessica rode the spit one hour later, while chatting with her cook about Sidney and girl meat as he drove the steel rod through her. Which only left Lara and Molly together. They chatted, walked around, and played with the young customer girl, for a good hour before Dan intercepted them. “Hey, Lara, we have the spit empty, it’s about time you gave it a spin don’t you think?” He winked.

The meatgirl jumped from joy. She hugged Molly farewell and followed Dan to the station, she had a smile from ear to ear all the way there. Once close to the spit Dan began the preparations, he thoroughly rubbed her body with girl oil and a large variety of spices, taking good care of her filet and budding breast meat. “Do you want your head to be preserved or eaten?” She looked at him like it was obvious. “What do you think? Arthur would be so sad if he couldn’t get to work on my cute little face.” Which made him laugh in agreement. Dan then carefully coated her head with the protective gel, before helping Lara set herself up on the spitting bench. He patted her head one last time as he pushed the spit through her whole body.

As it drew closer to her throat, she managed to speak her last words: “Bon appetit from an official meatgirl!” and finally the pole plugged her mouth. Dan rotated her over the fire, and she revelled in every seconds she spent there, until eventually, he served her on the carving board.

Her body was literally devoured by the customers she had the chance to chat with, and not long after, Dan brought her ‘cute little face’ to Arthur.

The night kept going until the guests left one after the other, until Melody closed the restaurant for the day. The few uneaten meatgirls chatted around in the dining room, before Dan and other employee guided them toward the holding dormitories. He went to the kitchen to tidy it up as Melody joined him to assess the results of the day.

The evening had been productive, they served a full-house, took dozens of reservations, acquired about two hundred new volunteers, if they included the performers, and Arthur sold a large chunk of their inventory, pelt carpets, stuffed hands, leather Sidney boots, hats and head, including Julie’s, and a lot of normal heads. He even managed to sell Rose’s and Nissa’s as a couple pack.

Dan and Melody took inventory of what kind of meat was left and what to buy, how many girls they slaughtered today and how many they’ll have to slaughter tomorrow. “Wow! That’s a lot of deaths you got there! How did I manage to slip through the net?” They turned, surprised to see the young Molly swinging her legs on the butchering board, as she played with a large knife.

“What are you doing here?! Shoo! You should be in the dormitories by now!” Melody playfully pushed her away from the board “You know what, just for that we’ll serve you for tomorrow’s breakfast service!” Molly ran away pulling her eyelid: “Don’t threaten me with a good time!” And both adults laughed. They finished the inventory and Melody tiredly went to her office.

Dan slowed down, he took a whole ham out of an oven. “Still warm, perfect.” He cut it in generous slices that he arranged on a large half of foccacia bread, with a sprinkle of ground pine nut, covered in fresh salad, and drizzle of a girl oil, the very first batch, made with the rendered fat of Nissa, Rose, Marie, Candy, Erica, and many more, slowly infused with herbs. He closed the sandwich with the other half of bread, and wrapped it in food-grade paper and sliced it in three with two diagonal cuts.

He fetched something from Arthur’s shop and left him a third of the sandwich, and then he walked to Melody’s office.

He entered without knocking, he saw Melody head-deep into the documents. “Hey I brought you something to eat. I’m sure you’ll love it.” She lifted her face to show her tired expression, and he raised his other hand to show her a souvenir box with the ever-smiling stuffed head of Lara inside. “Wo-What?” She replied with a sudden outburst of energy. “Arthur gave her head absolute priority, and we thought she’d have wanted you to have it.” He put the box on the table to take the head out and set it on the side of the table. “Thank you. She would have loved to watch over me and to continue to fulfill her duty as assistant through death. Even help me by serving as paperweight from time to time.” This made them both laugh as Melody poked Lara’s stuffed nose. “Truly, thank you. She’ll make a wonderful decoration.” He handed her the sandwich. “And that’s not all, I managed to save some of her while I carved her ass for the customers.” Melody’s eyes went round. “You don’t mean…?” He nodded. “In the flesh!” Her eyes welled up with tears of joy.

She and Dan spent the rest of the night chatting about this and that, as they savoured Lara’s rump that had teased them all day and night.


The happy end ^^
