"The last time I ate human flesh, Falla, it was my little brother that I ate. I had loved him. He was always kind to me. The buttock, of course, is very good."

"Well, Falla, we were hungry. Starving. We started to eat the fallen ones. The old people went pretty quickly. Soon there were only a few of us left. The last time I ate human flesh, Falla, it was my little brother that I ate. I had loved him. He was always kind to me."

"Tell me, grandma, is that kind of meat any good?"

"Oh, yes, Falla," she said promptly. "Very good."

"What part is the best?" I asked.

She looked at me in surprise, as though I had asked a stupid question. "Why, the buttock, of course," she said. "You should know that, Falla."
