I wanted something creepy and weird but also short to read on Christmas Eve and this fit the bill nicely. It wasn't perfect, but it was quick and had the vibes i was looking for. It is also a "gift of the magi" reimagining which I thought was cool. Something weird about it though was that it kept referencing Ironic by Alanis Morissette and it felt clunky and shoehorned in.
Graphic: Body horror, Blood, Murder, and Gaslighting
