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)

As a first read through I thought this short story was captivating and deserves the accolades it has received. 
I was pretty tired when I read it though so I want to re-read with more focus. 
Fascinating inner monologue that works really well to keep me engaged! 
CW ableism:
It was HARD to hear about her husband and her brother both discounting her illness and to see that in action in her husband's behaviour. Really mirrors how doctors act in real life and in their relationships with ppl they know even outside of work. well done on the part of the author just hard to read!
