The only crew member,Ahab, has not slain isthe ship's boy, Pillsworth.. Bound and gagged on the plankhe searches with Ahab for their elusive enemy. Little dothe marauders know that their entire world is but a mealfor three ravenous bird/children who are being fed on a conveyor belt. Just as their enemy is in sight disasterstrikes. Ahab and Pillsworth are tied together by the rope of their harpoon and mercilessly consumed by the bird children. Their chase for the yolk sends them plummettingthrough the bird's digestive system towards their ultimatedemise. A microscopic tale of epic tragedy.
