Intriguing pieces, @theironfelix! You have a way of creating a mood and a scene, even though I sometimes can't quite tell what is really going on.

These lines made me shiver:

The cadaver giving yelps despite the mouth firm shut and the voice-box long destroyed. The displaced heart sagged on her hands before screaming with the first-aid cooler of the hard slam into it.

Wow, that's some eye-popping writing!

I feel like that story could really be powerful if you decide to work on it some more. Do you belong to any writing groups? I could really see your writing taking off if you rub elbows with other writers to get feedback on what works well, and see where you might change words around, add clarity, and so on. For example, this line is super interesting, but not quite clear to me:

The lass's arms clinging unto a handle, the container sings the roll outwards as it presents a stitched up cadaver.

I've never seen writing quite like yours before. I think you have some very interesting potential to explore!

UwU ~ Thanks for reading, thanks for the highlights and thanks for the compliments! Surrealism is the game here, albeit it's done more in a cartoon-realistic (in every sense of the term you can think of right now) way. And nothing escapes the periphery of a drunken mood like mines when I feel like I need to amp up the Surreal factor to Horror levels.

(On that actually, my entire writing style has been, for a while, a mocking experiment to push the "Show and don't tell" rule to it's logical conclusion. And that method is by ridiculing it at its progresses on throughout the story. While to eventually reveal the hyprocrisy of showing in writing is just telling a story more eloquently. That and I was outright drunk typing that all up. One more preface: I suffered a stunted language learning process, had a speech impediment, and I had to learn English all pecking alone... Until I could speak it well enough and understood the unwritten rules... Even then I think I tend to make explicit the unwritten rules to much without giving the subtlety it deserves.)

But anyways, yah think I haven't. If you want a clear and precise way of thinking of what I am exploring right now: think about how someone would try to explain to a blind person what's happening in a 1930s animation skit featuring Mickey Mouse or Pop Eye the Sailor as the lead protagonists. As such: still exploring the many ways to mock such a rule and give literary reasons to respect the tell part and think it not Satan's armpits.
