Innate People

The sensation in her palm was cool, soft, and moist, like the ground fungus that appeared after rain.

She obediently gave it a light squeeze, and the soft thing in her hand burst like an overripe berry.

The juice squeezed out and dripped into her eye. A cool sensation spread through it, as if she had plucked out her eyeball and soaked it in a jar of medicated oil.
