Flo Can't Eat People

by Zoë Patel

​

Once upon a far off planet many stars ago, 

there lived a small pink monster. Her mum named her Flo. 

Flo had one problem which made her a little sad.

For when she ate us people, it always turned out bad ...

​

 

Space monster Flo has a problem eating the intergalactic edibles that are ... human beings! You might think eating people is yucky, but for Flo and her family there's nothing better than Earthling Sunday roast. But Flo's tummy groans if she eats bones and toes on toast makes her ill the most. What is Flo supposed to do if she can't eat people? Can she convince monsterkind to eat man-free meals?  

​​

'Flo Can't Eat People' is the delightfully delicious debut story by writer Zoë Patel, having been inspired to write by her own experiences of family members with food allergies.
