The Plated Barb Fish also known as the hook head is a small parasite, about the size of an infants finger, that makes its home in the human bowel. Here it swims up and down stream as if lead by whimsy and the currents until is finds a suitable area rich in nutrients and where blood flow is near the surface. Once this area is discovered it imbeds its head into the lining of the bowel wall, hooking itself in place so it can not be easily dislodged. Its barb causes the subject to bleed mildly and suffer minor spasms and contractions due to the irritant in the bowl wall, this stirs things up a bit and allows the parasite to ?sit back? and absorb the rich flow through the exposed osmotic membrane on the back of its head.
Just another creature of the week entry for conceptart.org, subject matter this time was anal parasite.
As usual comments and crit appreciated.
