Be absolute. Be yourself, until you bleed.

The place I live right now is positively riddled with house centipedes. Hate 'em. Worse than almost anything. If I was left in a room with Hitler, Stalin, suicidal ideations, and a gun with one bullet in it, I'd look for a fucking centipede to shoot.
(THAT'S TOO MANY FUCKING LEGS!!!)
I go to grab one with a paper towel (because tissues are WAY too thin for all those wriggly legs), and if it's on the wall, 9 times outta 10 the bastard will leap at me in order to escape death. If only there were a cosmic horror to squish me with a paper towel in those moments...
And this morning, one was on my blanket, staring me in the eyes as I woke up. I didn't know if I should scream or kiss it Good Morning.
(POV: Be me on an average morning)
According to @FoxSauce, these creppy crawlies can bite! According to Google, they cannot. But Ghost of Tsushima taught me to trust foxes, so I'll take her word for it. Let's not forget, though, that some species of centipedes are well-known to pack-a-punch. One almost bodied Coyote Peterson. When that dude says, "It's so much worse than a bullet ant sting!" you know the creature only exists to make the planet unlivable.
Also, according to what I read in an old encyclopedia that I used to squash a centipede the other day, house centipedes absolutely love warm, dark, wet places.
And THAT led me to remember one of my favorite old-school memes:
Oh, and don't worry, folks: penises (penii?) aren't safe either!
Condom

This is why I will NEVER wear a condom again!
Show of hands: who actually likes wearing condoms?
Exactly. They're the worst.
They're uncomfortable, they destroy all feeling, and if you actually manage to complete the act without deflating like one of Tom Brady's footballs, you have to waddle over to the bathroom to throw the thing away while it hangs off you like an eating-disordered grub. But you know what? We still wear them. Because we're civilized people.
Here's the thing: fuck being civilized. I'm never wearing one of those latex pieces of shit for as long as I live. As if everything I said above wasn't enough, I had to deal with what happened last night. God knows if I'll ever be able to have sex again.
I'd only been on one date with Aimee before yesterday, but it was obvious there was a lot of chemistry between us. So, after we had dinner last night, things went their natural way. That's a nice way of saying we were grunting and sweating all over one another in the cab on the way back to my apartment. I tipped the driver extra.
We made it back to my place and continued the various biological manipulations we'd started in the taxi. Added bonus to being at home: less clothing. Anyway, things progressed as we'd both anticipated, and a little while later, she was asking me to get a condom. Who was I to deny the lovely woman what she'd asked? I reached over and grabbed one from the nightstand. Aimee took it from me and tore off the wrapper. She looked like she was considering the options for a moment, then she leaned over and put the condom back on the nightstand and did something else to me for a little while. Something quite nice, I might add.
About nine seconds later, I had her stop. I knew the date would end pretty damn early if I let her continue. Aimee obliged, then she repositioned herself to the edge of the bed. Even I could figure out what that meant. I got up, grabbed the condom from the nightstand, rolled the thing over my stupid dick, and we went to work. This time, it was for about four seconds.
In that fourth second, something pinched the tip of my penis. Hard. I withdrew faster than the Republican Guard after the fall of Baghdad. I yelped as I pulled out. I heard Aimee mutter, "oh my fucking God, really?" I wasn't particularly concerned with her annoyance, though. There was an intensely sharp pain directly at the entrance to my urethra. Something hard was inside the condom, no pun intended, and, I realized with growing horror, it was moving. My yelps turned into a sustained shriek as I peeled the condom off while pinching the tip and feeling something wriggling under my fingertips.
Whatever I was pinching crunched between my thumb and forefinger. Once I'd been freed from the condom, I saw what it was: one of the house centipedes the apartment would get whenever it rained outside. Do you know what house centipedes are? They're these things. And there was one up my dick. And I'd broken it in half. The other piece, which still moved, was lodged firmly inside my urethra. I screamed and screamed and when Aimee turned around and saw what the commotion was, she made a sound I was certain would wake up the entire apartment complex.
I pinched the halved insect and tried to pull it out of me. Again, its crunchy body broke off in my fingers. I wanted to die. The piece that was still stuck in me – the piece that was STILL MOVING – was getting further inside my penis the longer I stood there.
And then something happened. It's something I never expected and it's something I still don't believe could ever occur in real life. But it did. And the world has to know. Still, before I mention it, I need to say that the ordeal ended about 15 seconds later. Aimee left and I went to the hospital to get checked out. The nurses laughed and the doctors looked disapprovingly at the nurses before turning around and shaking with laughter themselves. I was given a clean bill of health and told to make sure nothing crawls into my condom the next time I have sex. It was nice of them to give their medical opinion.
The part I left out, though, was when Aimee demonstrated the true nature of her character. Even though I never expect to see her again, I will be forever in love with that woman. It's because in a time of great stress – in a time when a man is suffering and there's only the act of a great person that can save him – someone will step up and do what needs to be done. Aimee was that person last night.
In the throes of my misery and pain as I flailed with terror and confusion to get the remaining fraction of the centipede out of my dick, Aimee put her hands on my shoulders. She stared at me; the light of Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives from the television casting an angelic glow on her dark skin. Then she uttered words that will both haunt and enrich my memories for the remaining years of my life:
"Stop moving around so much." She let out a long sigh of abject resignation.
"I can probably suck it out."
