I just read Ruth's Phantom Pain earlier this week and adored it, so I had to hurry up and read another story of hers right away, and this was so much fun, too! While it didn't quite gross me out as much as Phantom Pain did, I still had a ton of fun with it. This poor woman! She was so easy for me to empathize with and I felt so bad for how it seemed like every possible thing that could go wrong, did go wrong for her. That ending was not what I expected at all, though! I had a really good time with this one and definitely recommend it if you're looking for a quick, icky horror novelette!
