The language alone would have earned 5 stars. Each paragraph is a short story. How did you pack all of this into 800 words? Everyone should dedicate 5 minutes to this little chunk of suspense.

This story about a story made me want ot ignore the warning of its decription and read the story that so haunted the teller. THis tale is masterfully written. Thank you.

Exceptionally clever! It put me in mind of Robert W. Chambers's classic collection The King In Yellow, wherein a seemingly innocuous two-act play induces madness, often suicidal, in all who read it.
This piece is especially relevant given the contemporary fascination with memetic propagation. One thesis is that ideas use people as their vectors -- and that people were "developed" specifically for that duty. Bizarre, but not entirely unthinkable. Indeed, having allowed myself to dwell on the possibility afresh, I find myself compelled to discuss it with others...

I really dug this short. Ambiguous, it makes the mind wander, which is always a good thing. Highly recommend checking this out.
