This is a very graphic short.  While not off putting (to this reader)- some of the descriptions may bother some.The vivid imagery is exactly what gives this work a leap up and over other offerings in same genre wherein graphic details seem to merely be for gore factor and/or for shock value.  While this short contains details that shock and are gory - it was not of gratuitous type.  It actually fit the premise and experimentation the MC was doing.  Since he did to self - it kind of mitigated the "ewww" when included as based in the notion of research.  One can picture an experiment gone awry and even come to understand the mindset of the MC in doing the things he did to rectify his situation.Man alone.  No car, snow storm.  Decides to research a scene in novel he is writing.  He is meticulous to the notion of realistic quality in his writing and does extensive research related to his devices in order they are believable and compelling reads.  This time, alone and without car and stuck in storm (no avenue for travel to assistance) he bites off a bit more than he can chew (no pun intended) while doing some research for his novel.  This is his tale.Edited well - while graphic, imagery was vivid and believable in context of situation.  I felt a pang or two of empathy pain for the fella.Recommend this author and I will look for another work by same.Christine
