A man purchases a phallic-shaped black rubber object from an antique store. The dark powers inherent in the object turn his life upside down as he undergoes a bizarre transformation. The story originally appeared in the Spring 2003 edition of The House of Pain ezine.
This story has been re-release in Acetone Enema: A Morbid Collection of Short Stories and Poetry.
This one is really fucked up, and a damn good read too. You have a really black sense of humor as in a really evil sense of humor. It takes a mind like this to write a story this dark.

fantastic- because of the style in which you wrote this some lines should be removed "If I opened the door, I would open the door to an immeasurable void. The hot water began producing steam, which covered the mirror and, heavy in the air, darkened the room. I shut off the water." it was tedious to read this small section just because of the repeated words.
, but the meat of this the story itself is extremly creative I really enjoyed it-Reilly
