Luke was an extraordinary boy. Despite being only one centimetre tall, he was full of life and adventures. Today, he was excited about his first day at school. His journey started with exploring the canteen during lunchtime.

His best friend, Mary, was eating her lunch. Unaware of Luke's presence, she accidentally knocked him into her plate. Before he could react, he found himself on the edge of a large piece of apple.

Mary, oblivious to his predicament, thought Luke was a piece of food. She picked him up and swallowed him. It was a terrifying moment for little Luke as he fought to stay out of Mary's esophagus.

Luke clung onto Mary's uvula with all his might. He was frightened but determined not to be swallowed. But Mary, thinking there was a piece of food stuck in her throat, swallowed again.

Despite his best efforts, Luke lost his grip and slid down Mary's esophagus. He felt a sudden drop as he fell into Mary's stomach. The stomach was dark, and he could hear the rumble of digestion.

Desperate, Luke began to scale the walls of Mary's stomach. The acidic environment started to dissolve his clothes and he could feel a burning sensation on his skin. He knew he needed to find a way out before it was too late.

For the miniscule Luke, his epic ordeal was about to unfold. Dangling precariously from Mary's uvula, in the heart of her mouth, he was trapped as she savored every bite of her meal, completely unaware of his plight. Emotions of raw fear combined with a steadfast resolve to stay alive reverberated within him. Clinging tightly despite Mary's next swallow, he bravely fought back the encroaching panic.
