Womb

Eddie felt it growing larger each day on his right side. He went to his doctor who ordered a cat scan. The results were stunning. Eddie had developed a womb. His doctor was over joyed. This is ground breaking he exclaimed. You can have kids. I don't want kids, Eddie protested. Besides, I don't have a uterus.
We have techniques, his doctor said. Anything is possible.
Eddie despaired. He was a freak. No one would come near him. He called his friend Joe, who commiserated. Joe had an extra thyroid gland, which he hid under a turtleneck. Joe always made it about himself.
Eddie stripped and stared at his misshapen body. A child who looked like him. Maybe this was his destiny. Now he needed a new wardrobe.He hugged his bump. Who needs estrogen?
