It was taken down to Roger in a plastic dish. The portion was small. Roger ate it quickly and found it insufficient. Raising the prospect of food in his mind, it was almost worse than eating nothing at all. His ravenous stomach’s reaction to the tiny meal was extreme and resulted in instantaneous indigestion. Riko had advised him to eat it slowly. This would make it last longer, aid digestion and allow him to enjoy it. It was advice he did not follow. Later he regretted not listening to Riko. Riko’s attitude to Roger was to liken him to a new pet animal. There was excitement at bringing him home, watching him adapt and react to his new habitat, followed by a more constant fascination in place of the initial buzz. Riko was sure most of her animal pets had greater underlying intelligence than was possessed by Roger. “He eats like a pig,” said Riko, as she returned from the cellar to meet Mistress Vania’s enquiring look. “And he doesn’t listen to anything I tell him. If he was a pet dog, I would return him to the pet store and get a replacement.” Paperback and Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/Mistress-Vania-Changes-Scott-Baxter-ebook/dp/B00LPLIC6C Apple iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/wet-by-rain/id1517187872 Twitter: https://twitter.com/WetByRain1 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5FUG4EErDp4pUInZ1ANYsp?si=N4OvPMSkSoOGXmX7IHcIuw YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeqTJqdJ-ObgzeGQl-Ehb0A Those wanting to support the podcast: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=36140272 Music by Kevin MacLeod, Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ https://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/music.html - Danse Macabre - Sad Part. - Greta String - Lone Harvest Wet By Rain http://scottab71.libsyn.com/website <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/22656848/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/content/124658102
