A disembodied human head on metal crab legs, known as a crab man, has to battle evil forces to get stem cells that can make him whole again.

BRIEF SYNOPSIS:

ANDRAKE is an elderly disembodied human head on metal crab legs. Andrake and the other crab men live underneath the ground. None of these “Men” have genitals. They want to be whole again and get back their penis. They also want to find all-flesh women to impregnate.

When a huge rat jumps on WRAG, a crab man, his face is bitten. Everyone flees, but Andrake and his brother DROOSE. Droose’s skull consists all wires and silicon beneath a metal and glass cage. Half of his brain is artificial. The DOCTOR, the only no-flesh crabman, operates on CHUZZY, a jittery crabman with half a tongue. …show more content…

Wrag stands at a lava pit. A Priest preaches that one among them is fated to be the sole survivor. He preaches about rescuing their women and impregnating them for the rebirth of their nation. He wants Wrag to make a sacrifice. Wrag melts in the lava pit.

A grenade is also thrown into the pit and explodes, injuring some of the crabmen, and hitting Droose. He’s badly hurt. The doctor bolts copper rivets to Droose. There’s now nothing organic left of his face, but his ear and nose. Droose’s brain-matter is now all just circuits. Andrake wants to donate some of his flesh for Droose, but it’s too risky and Droose won’t allow his brother to help him. Droose swears not to return and he goes aboveground.

The crabmen fear going above ground because they believe an enemy lives there. The men are waiting for their penis to become whole men again. There may be “stencils” aka Stem Cells aboveground. Andrake decides to go find Droose. Chuzzy and BELTCH go with Andrake. The Priest tells them not to return until they find him. Above ground they see a “castle” which is really a nuclear power

  • Parasite Barnacle: A Case Study

    481 Words  | 1 Pages

    The barnacles not only live and reproduce inside the host crab, but they control it. The tendrils attached to the nerves produce substances that change the crab’s endocrine system. This leads to the crab’s body absorbing its own Y-organ. The Y-organ instructs the crab to molt or grow. The crab’s androgenic gland is also degenerated. The androgenic gland controls sex differentiation. At this point, the crab is unable to grow, molt, regenerate lost limbs and it is infertile. When the barnacle inhabits a male crab, the changes feminize him. The male crab will resemble and act like a female. He may even perform a female mating dance. After all this has taken place, the host crab will take care of the parasitic eggs. The crab acts as if the eggs are its own. At the right time, the crab will climb up onto a high rock, and tend to the egg pouch, as it would do in its own reproductive cycle. When the generous number of eggs are ready to hatch, the crab will bob up and down in the water to release them. The crab will then mix the floating eggs with it’s claw to set them on their way. These larvae will usually find new hosts, which continues this

  • Analysis Of 'Counting Descent' By Clint Smith

    573 Words  | 2 Pages

    Traditionally, and as depicted by Smith, when a hermit crab starts to “grow, molt, and shed its skin,” the hermit crab then, after momentarily enduring complete exposure, scurries off in search of another shell. Similarly to the periodic nakedness of a hermit crab, Smith, who even after growth is hesitant to reveal his skin to others, finds solitude behind a shell of his own creation. Interestingly, and further revealing his internal fear of getting hurt by societal intolerance, Smith is frightened for the small creature, for the hermit crab lives its entire life “requiring something else to feel safe.” In this moment, through projecting his fears onto the lifestyle of a crab, Smith discloses the sturdy walls and barriers that he fortifies, keeping himself safe from feared futuristic emotional

    The objective is the structural and functional examination of the Trinidad mountain crab (Pseudothelphusa garmani) lung. Unlike most crustaceans, Trinidad mountain crab are considered land crabs, and are not committed to water breathing. Trinidad mountain crabs can air-breathe due to the development of a large blood sinus from invaginated branchial chamber epithelium, forming the respiratory airway to the “cutaneous lung”. The lung of the Trinidad mountain crab has two airways for gas exchange: a primary respiratory airway consisting of alveolar sacs and a smaller secondary respiratory airway. Blood entering the branchial chamber epithelium can either go through the branchial epithelium found in most crustaceans or undergo lung perfusion when

  • Realism In Peeling And Crabs

    794 Words  | 2 Pages

    According to Scottish novelist and poet Robert Louis Stevenson, “Life is monstrous, infinite, illogical abrupt and poignant… a work of (realist) art in comparison is neat, finite, self-contained, natural, flowing and emasculate.” Peter Carey in his short stories does not attempt to finitely box in life through his writing as suggested by Stevenson, but utilises and departs from the realist mode in order to make specific comments and critique society. Realism is most simply a literary framework, and does not stand solely on its own. It encompasses numerous literary modes, which is clearly evident in Carey’s short stories. Both “Peeling” and “Crabs” begin with sense of “verisimilitude” defined by the Concise Oxford Dictionary as “the appearance or semblance of truth or reality; quality of seeming true.” Both short stories have great tension foreshadowing to the reader the departure from the realist mode into a nightmarish realm, which allows Carey to produce a social critique in his work.
