This vile poem takes a real hard science fiction tone. Once I wrote the poem, I then set out to create an image to accompany it.
Infernal Ovum
It ripens to a cocoon within seconds.
Noxious, oozing vile odors
perpetuating the agony,
exacerbating the nostril hair sting.
But like a train wreck,
I can't look away.
Perhaps the smell intoxicates
the mind to a sedative state?
And now I'm bound to witness
the birth of our demise -
a cocoon of rapture
from another sky.

This anthology features ten spine-tingling tales that explore the dark intersections of body horror and folklore, where the human form and ancient legends collide in terrifying ways.
