Long And Flesh-Like

Something in the dirt moved. Writhing, it slithered across Thomas' palm. He shrieked - but doing so heard nothing audible. He dropped the dirt and shook his hand clean. He stared down at the fallen clump to see something slimy, long and flesh-like ... like a finger which had fallen loose from the bone and retained life itself ... disappear into a hole of its own making. Thomas started to poke after it when he heard more voices.
