After the removal of Denise’s womb, a thing made a nest inside her cavity. When Denise slept, the thing would painstakingly drag itself out of her vagina, pulling itself free with long, spindly, claw tipped limbs, before venturing into the night to feed.
In her dreams, Denise could see through the thing’s searching, manifold eyes. It hunted down rats and cats, cruelly slicing and rending them as they screamed, before it devoured what little corpus of them remained.
Before dawn, the thing would return to its nest. Denise would go to work that day feeling rested and satisfied.
And whole.

That was a creepy, yet strangely entertaining read. I like the dark, skin-crawling tone of your writing.
