What interests me most is the way the body horror here does not emerge from the body itself, but from the language the body has been forced to hold inside. The creature feels less like a “monster” than a physical form of shame, guilt, and inherited violence.
Love what you did with the prompt!
That dad saying that to hus child just after nearly killing himself is peak level horror writing. Bravo 👏
Really nice interpretation of the prompt.
Very nice! It’s cool seeing how everyone interpreted this prompt 😄

Very Cronenberg! I love the karmic idea of the evil you inject into another person coming home to you to roost.
