This freaky little short story may be my Roman Empire. 

Read this if you like disturbing stories that leave you at the end with the thought: “honestly? Good for her”

I actually think it’s a pretty funny story the same way that a Junji Ito story is funny — It’s deeply upsetting but you also love how absurd it is and you’re like yessssss YESSSS! (I’m the “sickos” meme guy in this scenario)

I enjoyed it quite a lot^^
 I found the writing lovely even if it's a very dark read... 

I was waiting for one small story about a yellow wallpaper, I was surprised to found 3 smaller stories about different things... 

i'm sure there is much more to say about it, I don't think I quite yet understood everything but I sure want to go back and underline many great lines, and try make assomptions about what I think every ending meant and what they tell us..... ~ 

I would recommend
