Rabid story
A woman develops an orifice under one of her armpits after being injured in a motorcycle accident and undergoing a surgical operation. The orifice hides a phallic stinger that she uses to feed on people's blood. Soon, those she feeds upon become infected, whose bite spreads the disease and soon causes massive chaos starting in the Quebec countryside and ending up in Montreal.
