Finger Food. Twisted Ever After, #4

Perfect measurements. Flawless symmetry. Ideal proportions. Seventeen-year-old Jen Marsh has spent her life pursuing physical perfection through the pageant circuit, her entire identity built around calculated measurements and precise aesthetic standards. When her longtime rival appears with a transformed body courtesy of the mysterious "Bite" program, Jen's desperation for an edge leads her to sign up without reading the fine print.
The specialized "nutrition" products work better than she could have imagined-targeted modifications reshaping exactly the areas she wants improved. But as her body transforms, so does her understanding of what's really happening: The program isn't enhancing beauty. It's preparing ingredients. Bite's true purpose emerges in fragments-specialized modifications creating the perfect taste profile, integration monitors tracking harvest readiness, a Chef with too many joints in her fingers evaluating specimens with culinary precision.
Behind it all waits The Entity, an ancient consciousness that has cultivated humanity as a specialized food source for centuries. As Jen's body betrays her-neural modifications suppressing resistance, compliance systems rewriting her horror into acceptance-she must find a way to preserve evidence of the system consuming her before she's processed completely. In a world where recruiter and recruited, consumer and consumed blur together in a perfect cycle of cannibalistic efficiency, Jen's only hope lies in a message that might survive her own consumption.
After all, every recipe needs someone to taste it first.
