Okay, another freaky story. Both the male and female are giving birth to birds, one goes down his throat, he's covered in bumps that he scratches and out pops stuff. She calls herself a book. He talks about tasting his scrotum tearing. That's just the first couple of pages. Too strange for me. No rating because I didn't finish it.
