  "description": "Art by Manex57 on FurAffinity\n\nReally wanted to try writing a Horror Story with the time of year it is, as a way to try out a different theme from my normal Fantasy or regular Medical stuff, I know this will not be everyone's cup of tea but I want to expand my writing, it will come in two parts. This story can either be canon or non-canon as this situation is very plausible in my world\n\nPart 1 - Experiments of the Heart: Current\nPart 2 - Experiments of the Lover: https://inkbunny.net/s/2290750\n\n~\nThe room was dimly lit and the stench of blood was thick, as a man dressed in surgical scrubs entered, along the back wall were his prized catches, all chained up and waiting to be taken to one of the many operating tables laying out in this room. These tables were cold, perfect for preserving his specimens for as long as he wanted to keep them alive, performing various surgeries and tests as he would watch those helpless souls' lifeforce fade into the beyond, as their blood slowly oozed out of them and their heart slowly stopped beating. He stopped in front one of his captures, deciding he would start the day experimenting on this one, he was this arctic fox that had these beautiful orange accents, the man was even more interested in the various large scars on his body, as well as the boy's removed mechanical arm, cutting him open would be a fun time. His assistant removed the boy from his chains and laid him down on one of the many operating tables, the boy still unconscious from the attack that got him captured, but hopefully he would wake up soon, it was more fun operating on those who could feel his knife's cuts. The assistant chained the boy's legs, as well as his one remaining arm to the table, so he would not be able to escape from the torment that he was about to be put through, then placing a small blanket over his lower region, as while the man only though of his captures as subjects for his torment, they did deserve some dignity, unless he was experimenting on their lower region, he had them covered. Sending his assistant away for the moment, the man now fully examined the boy's body, running his hand down his soft belly fur before getting a closer look at the large scar the ran down the side of it. This scar was made by some sort of weapon the man thought as the fur appeared to have been torn by a large blade instead of a small scalpel based on the way it healed. Moving his hands up to the boy's chest, he took a closer look at the scars there, the one on his shoulder was the same as the one on the belly, but the one going between two of the boy's ribs was different. This one was made by a scalpel he thought, it was kind of sloppy like it was done in some sort of emergency, probably as a side effect of the boy's other marks, but that scar was not the one that really caught his eye. The boy laying on the table had fairly thick patch of fur on his chest, very soft and fluffy but it was hiding an interesting secrete, there was another scar running down the centre of the boy's chest, that if you had not pulled back the fur there, you would have never known. This excited the man as the boy had some sort of continuing cardiac injury, he now wanted to test the limits of the boy's heart and now firmly decided on opening up his chest. \n\nJust as the man made his decision, the boy's eyes slowly opened as some small moans could be heard from his mouth, \"so you are finally awake\" the man said to the still dazed boy who looked like he was trying to figure out what was going on. \"It is not everyday I get to experiment on a specimen such as you, Ion the Stormfox\" the man continued as he placed a oxygen mask on Ion's face, \"now just relax and take some deep breaths, this may be quite painful.\" Ion was still trying to figure out what was going on, dazed by the bright lights above him, when a sudden sharp pain started to radiate down his chest, as the man in the room with him started to run a scalpel down the centre of it, repeating the process as more layers of fur were cut away, thick blood oozing all out as Ion could feel his fur getting drenched in his own blood, as the man just continued slicing. It was not before long that Ion's sternum was fully exposed, the thick part of his breastbone that protected his beating heart below, though Ion;s had some interesting features. The man ran his fingers down Ion's exposed sternum, wiping away some of the blood that had splashed onto it, taking an interest in the three butterfly looking clips that were screwed into it, \"so you have had open heart surgery before and judging by the look of your sternum, quite a few of them indeed, very fascinating\" the man said with a gleeful expression. He then took a surgical drill and removed the screws from the butterfly clips, then using some sort of thin tool to pry those clamps from Ion's sternum once the screws were all removed. Now that Ion's sternum was free from obstructions, the man ran his had down the large bone again, it feeling a bit brittle from no doubt the amount of times it had been split apart, something he was just about to do himself. He then took a small saw and started cutting down the centre of Ion's sternum, more blood starting pouring out from each side of the severed bone as the tiny blood vessels within it were torn apart. Ion moaned in pain as the man was taking his time, being careful to to damage something more precious below, while taking in the enjoyment of seeing his victim in pain, but before long the bone was split in two and Ion's chest was ready to be pried apart. The man then took a retractor and inserted it into the incision in Ion's bloody chest, slowly rotating the the lever as both sides of Ion's chest started to part with each click of the lever. Ion was gritting his teeth in pain, the feeling of his chest being pulled apart was becoming unbearable, as the sound of loud pops started to fill his ears as the man was putting more pressure on his ribs then they could handle, the feeling of his blood rushing faster out of what was now a sizable hole in his chest. The man then seamed to be having a harder time rotating the lever on the retractor, grunting a bit before giving it one final large crank as a loud cracking sound could be heard, along with a small scream from Ion as the man just probably broke all of his ribs, but now everything under there was all exposed. Ion started breathing heavily from the pain as the man started dissecting Ion's muscular layer that was under his ribcage, again cutting with care as not to damage what he was really after, blood still pouring out strong, \"now this is interesting\" he said after a couple more minutes of cutting. \n\nIon was having a hard time processing what was going on, he was in severe pain, the bright lights above him made his eyes hard to focus, he had been loosing lots of blood from this \"surgery\" and it didn't seam to stop. \"So you mush of had a very serious injury to you heart for it to be covered in a synthetic pericardium\" the man said aloud but Ion could barely pay attention, mostly since he was having a hard time processing everything and the fact that he was feeling his consciousness slipping. The man now made an incision down Ion's pericardium, peeling it away to finally expose his heart and when he did, what he saw filled the man with excitement, \"my, my, I would have never have guessed you would have a synthetic heart, that heart injury of yours must have been really serious if you had to undergo that kind of surgery.\" The man placed on of his hands over Ion's synthetic heart, it was beating like a normal one, synchronizing itself with Ion's current predicament and feelings, \"my how far technology has come along the fact you can be kept alive by this miracle device, you are really lucky to be living in a era where this exists otherwise, I guess you would have perished long ago\" the man snarkly said to Ion who was just trying to hang in there, taking deep breaths and just trying to stay awake. The suddenly the man placed his other hand over Ion synthetic heart, using both of his hands to squeeze it tightly. Ion started gasping, he tried to fight back as his strength was starting to severely weaken, as light faded from his eyes rendering him in a deep haze as his heart struggled to beat against the man's grasp, before he went fully unconscious when his heart stopped it's beating. \"It feels really good in the hands and it reacts like a normal heart would... but I wonder...\" the man said at Ion's stilled heart before weakening his grasp. Ion's synthetic heart started to shake a bit before some small electrical pulses could be heard, with it starting to slowly beating again, eventually ramping up to pulse at a normal rate, \"so it can restart itself once stopped, my what a wonderful piece of technology this heart is\"  the man continued as Ion started to regain consciousness again, coughing as air started to rush his lungs once more before moaning out from the immense pain he was in. \"Don't worry, I will not let you die, not just yet anyways\" the man began to say to the awakening Ion, \"but I do want to give your heart a really good stress test before I cut it out, I want to see how a synthetic heart reacts compared to a regular one when you are put through some sort of stressful situation....\" the man continued, trailing off at the end as he gently released his grasp on Ion's synthetic heart. \n\nAll Ion could do was just lay there, his eyes barely open as he was just trying to hang on as he was lying in a thick pool of his own blood. He was thankful for his synthetic heart in a moment like this, if he still had his natural one, he would definitely be dead by now, but with the amount of blood he was feeling all over his fur, that might not matter much longer, he just hoped his body will hold out until he got the strength to fight back, if only he could transform into his floof dragon form. The man then called in his assistant again, as he stood in front of another body that was chained to the wall, moments latter the assistant walked back in, unchained the other body from the wall and placed it on the operating table directly to Ion's left. As the assistant walked out of the room again, Ion could hear the man mumble some words, probably talking to the new specimen he had on the table next to him but they were uncoherent to Ion's ears. Ion slowly turned his head to see what the man was going to do to another unfortunate soul but what Ion saw made his heart rate and blood pressure skyrocket through the roof. Lying on the operating table next to him was his mate and lover Zephyr, his eyes full of fear as the man started to slide his scalpel down Zephyr's belly, a blood curdling scream could be heard as he was doing it, along with the site of his white fur being soaked in the dark red of blood. Ion tried to turn his head away, he couldn't watch as something like this was being done to his mate but he couldn't, his head was held in place by the strong hand of the man's assistant who had came back into the room, having set up some sort of recording device watching Ion's synthetic heart which was starting to beat uncontrollably. Ion didn't have the strength yet to fight back against the hand pushing down on his head, as it was being held with his sight forced squarely towards Zephyr, as his blood curdling screams continued as thick blood continued to pour out of his belly.....\n~",
  "description_bbcode_parsed": "<span style='word-wrap: break-word;'>Art by Manex57 on FurAffinity<br /><br />Really wanted to try writing a Horror Story with the time of year it is, as a way to try out a different theme from my normal Fantasy or regular Medical stuff, I know this will not be everyone&#039;s cup of tea but I want to expand my writing, it will come in two parts. This story can either be canon or non-canon as this situation is very plausible in my world<br /><br />Part 1 - Experiments of the Heart: Current<br />Part 2 - Experiments of the Lover: <a href=\"https://inkbunny.net/s/2290750\" rel=\"nofollow\">https://inkbunny.net/s/2290750</a><br /><br />~<br />The room was dimly lit and the stench of blood was thick, as a man dressed in surgical scrubs entered, along the back wall were his prized catches, all chained up and waiting to be taken to one of the many operating tables laying out in this room. These tables were cold, perfect for preserving his specimens for as long as he wanted to keep them alive, performing various surgeries and tests as he would watch those helpless souls&#039; lifeforce fade into the beyond, as their blood slowly oozed out of them and their heart slowly stopped beating. He stopped in front one of his captures, deciding he would start the day experimenting on this one, he was this arctic fox that had these beautiful orange accents, the man was even more interested in the various large scars on his body, as well as the boy&#039;s removed mechanical arm, cutting him open would be a fun time. His assistant removed the boy from his chains and laid him down on one of the many operating tables, the boy still unconscious from the attack that got him captured, but hopefully he would wake up soon, it was more fun operating on those who could feel his knife&#039;s cuts. The assistant chained the boy&#039;s legs, as well as his one remaining arm to the table, so he would not be able to escape from the torment that he was about to be put through, then placing a small blanket over his lower region, as while the man only though of his captures as subjects for his torment, they did deserve some dignity, unless he was experimenting on their lower region, he had them covered. Sending his assistant away for the moment, the man now fully examined the boy&#039;s body, running his hand down his soft belly fur before getting a closer look at the large scar the ran down the side of it. This scar was made by some sort of weapon the man thought as the fur appeared to have been torn by a large blade instead of a small scalpel based on the way it healed. Moving his hands up to the boy&#039;s chest, he took a closer look at the scars there, the one on his shoulder was the same as the one on the belly, but the one going between two of the boy&#039;s ribs was different. This one was made by a scalpel he thought, it was kind of sloppy like it was done in some sort of emergency, probably as a side effect of the boy&#039;s other marks, but that scar was not the one that really caught his eye. The boy laying on the table had fairly thick patch of fur on his chest, very soft and fluffy but it was hiding an interesting secrete, there was another scar running down the centre of the boy&#039;s chest, that if you had not pulled back the fur there, you would have never known. This excited the man as the boy had some sort of continuing cardiac injury, he now wanted to test the limits of the boy&#039;s heart and now firmly decided on opening up his chest. <br /><br />Just as the man made his decision, the boy&#039;s eyes slowly opened as some small moans could be heard from his mouth, &quot;so you are finally awake&quot; the man said to the still dazed boy who looked like he was trying to figure out what was going on. &quot;It is not everyday I get to experiment on a specimen such as you, Ion the Stormfox&quot; the man continued as he placed a oxygen mask on Ion&#039;s face, &quot;now just relax and take some deep breaths, this may be quite painful.&quot; Ion was still trying to figure out what was going on, dazed by the bright lights above him, when a sudden sharp pain started to radiate down his chest, as the man in the room with him started to run a scalpel down the centre of it, repeating the process as more layers of fur were cut away, thick blood oozing all out as Ion could feel his fur getting drenched in his own blood, as the man just continued slicing. It was not before long that Ion&#039;s sternum was fully exposed, the thick part of his breastbone that protected his beating heart below, though Ion;s had some interesting features. The man ran his fingers down Ion&#039;s exposed sternum, wiping away some of the blood that had splashed onto it, taking an interest in the three butterfly looking clips that were screwed into it, &quot;so you have had open heart surgery before and judging by the look of your sternum, quite a few of them indeed, very fascinating&quot; the man said with a gleeful expression. He then took a surgical drill and removed the screws from the butterfly clips, then using some sort of thin tool to pry those clamps from Ion&#039;s sternum once the screws were all removed.
