“am a great soft jelly thing. Smoothly rounded, with no mouth, with pulsing
white holes filled by fog where my eyes used to be. Rubbery appendages that
were once my arms; bulks rounding down into legless humps of soft slippery
matter. I leave a moist trail when I move. Blotches of diseased, evil gray come
and go on my surface, as though light is being beamed from within”
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCJ

I listened to Ellison's reading of the story. This is one of the most unsettling and original stories I have ever read/heard. Ellison's frantic and anguished presentation of the story was fantastic as well.
