The Very Hungry Chrysoberyl, a timeless classic by L. O. Diamond

In the light of a sun, a little Gem lay in a kindergarten.

One Monday night, the cold moon came up...

and POP, advancing from her Gem came an ungrateful, hungry Chrysoberyl.

She started looking for victims to eat.

She ate thru the Troilite that once owned her.

Tuesday comes, she ate through two Ammolites, their crime was being sweet.

By Wednesday end she ate thru 3 Quartzes for standing guard alone.

On Thursday she bored thru the entire Pearl arsenal.

On Friday, she even ate the Calcites on Sporarum,

but was still hungry.

...

On Saturday, she ate thru the five friends who trusted her,

the wall leading to the diamond authorities,

the Jasper guards blocking her way,

the Peridots sent to shoot her,

the Rubies that were their last resort,

even the Diamonds themselves,

but was still hungry.

She ate thru every Gem on Homeworld by Sunday,

and ate each Gem on Earth by Monday.

On Tuesday she ate each and every human,

but was still hungry.

Nothing could relinquish the bloodthirstiness of the hungry, tiny Chrysoberyl.

She could have pupated and become the beautiful, mouthless moth Nature intended,

but nope.

SHE WAS STILL HUNGRY.
