This is a story I thought I'd work on after my exams, but I'm putting it out here anyways. A man wishes for immortality in a drunken state. Over the next couple of days, he starts losing minor body parts like fingernails, hair, etc. He's admitted to the hospital, and his body slowly starts digesting itself (muscles, sensory nerves start to atrophy). After the process is complete it is discovered that the body has formed a sort of cocoon, and a child is found to have developed within the blob of flesh that remains of the man. Child matures quickly and shows signs of memories of the 'parent'. Child (now in adolescence) starts to lose fingernails, hair and teeth, implying cycle repeatig itself.
