>>5741687Kafka already wrote a better version of this in The Metamorphosis / Die Verwandlung. An interesting property of Kafka stories is that it is enough to simply read a summary of the central symbolic images, ingesting the complete text itself appends very little insight to comprehension in terms of embellishing details - I think it arises from the way Kafka wrote from aphorisms and short fragments constructed in his diaries, some of which present some intriguing conjectured perspectives on reality hehe. Man Turns Into Some Sort Of Insect, Man Has Words Carved On Skin In Penitentiary, Man Starves Himself As Part Of Artistic Circus Act, this is all you need to know and imagine
I was trying to recollect some film featuring insects or caterpillars, this gif is all I have, but I possess a distinct recollection that the animatronic brain bug mouthparts in the ending of this film also (intentionally?) resembled a vulva
