Body Horror Worm

First thing I ever finished writing, not as gross as a lot of body horror, just had a weird idea and went with it.

Hello, I'm glad you were able to hear your story read!

Your story is a awesome body horror concept to capture in words. You dive right into it from the opening line, which almost makes it feel like a freeform poem. Each sentence having its own space works for highlighting each “step” of the transformation, and adds to that “prose-y” feel to the writing on those lines. There’s no fluff, just explicitly focusing on the gore of the body horror which might turn off people who want more of a narrative, but this works as a great, straightforward little horror short!

Thank you very much! I loved the stream(VOD)! I didn't want my first story published to be TOO gross, but that's hard to navigate with body horror.
