Summary
Michael is so rapt with humans mutations with animal characteristics that he purchases a woman to keep in a cage at the basement of Joe’s Pet Shop, which he owns. Falling madly in love with the creature, Citrona, he hires Nena as a trapper. While Nena is very skilled with animals, she does this just to please Michael, and he does this in order to provide anything that Citrona may need. Though the creature does not reciprocate the love Michael feels for her (she fears him to the point of her shaking uncontrollably and recoiling at his touch), Citrona is attracted to Nena and consistently compliments her in an attempt to get her love, rather than Michael being the recipient. Before sending her on vacation, Michael kisses Nena twice and proceeds to take care of Citrona by himself. She dreamed of Nena but Michael claims he killed her. Soon after Nena returns and shares a couple nights talking extensively to Citrona, who keeps showing her devotion. Michael sees they do not talk about him, so he proposes to Citrona, who denies. It comes to the point that Citrona claims she has to kill Nena to free her, as she will only love Michael. Citrona kills Nena, and when Michael approaches to kiss her, there is a blackout and we hear him scream in the darkness.
