	Movies - Autopsy Room Four

"Autopsy Room Four" is the first short story in the collection Everything's Eventual: 14 Dark Tales by Stephen King. It was adopted into a short film with the same title in 2003.

Plot

Howard Cottrell awakes from some form of unconsciousness to find himself laid out in an autopsy room. As the doctors prepare to begin, Howard struggles to come to grips with what is happening.

After realising that he is not dead, he deduces that he is in a paralysed state, and struggles to somehow inform the doctors of this fact before they cut into him.

While prepping Cottrell's body, the doctor in charge, Katie Arlen, finds shrapnel wounds around his nether regions. While she is absent-mindedly examining these, another doctor rushes into the room to inform them that Howard is still alive. Katie looks down - to find herself holding Howard's stiff penis.

In a humourous after note, Howard explains that he was possibly bitten by a very rare snake, causing the death-like paralysis. He adds that he and Katie dated for awhile, but broke up due to an embarrassing problem in the bedroom: he was impotent unless she was wearing rubber gloves.
