Imagine - you go to bed, perhaps feeling woozy from that extra martini and/or last slice of pizza . . . you toss and turn through troubling dreams of penetration and ejaculation, sperm swimming upstream, unseen but strongly felt biological processes churning within, the egg draws in one intruder and then fortifies itself, no more will enter . . . a newborn's gurgling cry pierces the silence of the dream womb and you wake to find that it's real . . . your eyes dart downward, to the end of the bed where your wrinkled, ape-like, slimy child sits, squinting and crying, his little arms making small, jerky motions like a stiff and awkwardly commanded puppet, a trail of smeared blood and clear to yellowish fluids marking his worm-like slither away from you . . . you follow the umbilicle cord from his belly, it winds atop bloodied sheets and disappears into your vagina as the final mild contractions expel the after birth and the fluid you now feel pooled under your cheeks and thighs. The child is now fully detached from you - a screaming, alien creature attached by a knotted cord of flesh to a bloody mess that sits between your legs - and while part of you is drawn to it, to pick it up and try to comfort it, you fear that the moment you touch it the screams will become louder and will never stop, and you recoil towards your headbord and pillows, trembling from fear and adrenaline and a strange, tingling arousal, wondering if you will wake up again or not. > > Could be a good short film, you should star if you're comfortable with nudity and fake blood.
