A Few Seconds Of Radiant Filmstrip (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
“Hey, you want to see something? Here, put this in your mouth.” Kevin lays the foxtail on the centerline of his tongue. “Now what?” He has scarcely spoken before the prickle of fuzz picks up the tremor and starts crawling toward the back of his throat. He coughs and gags, nipping at it with his teeth, but the more he chases after it, the more quickly it flees. Soon he has no choice but to swallow. He can feel the thing scratching its way down his windpipe like a cylinder of twitching bug’s legs. Shane leans forward, giving his big batty laugh. “It’s like it turns into a caterpillar, am I right?” “It stings!” Tunk, tunk—Kevin smacks his breastbone. “It stings right here. Jesus shit, man, what’s wrong with you?” Shane shrugs. “If you reverse it when you put it in, it’ll crawl the other way. Nobody ever reverses it, though. People just plant it on their tongue like gardeners or something.” Already it is a quarter past noon. Lunch is nearly over. Between the first and second bell, Kevin stands by the upstairs restroom monopolizing the drinking fountain, taking one huge gulp after another as he tries to wash the foxtail down.
