*not adding read dates b/c I don't want a 10 page story clogging up my book goal*
The material in Monster, She Wrote about female pulp horror/sci-fi writers unlocked a hidden memory of this story I read as a teenager in one of my parents' old sci-fi anthologies and I just had to go read it again. As a teen I thought it was pretty weird but kinda cool. As an adult I think it's one of the best short stories ever written.

2018 review:
Quite uncomfortable and difficult to read due to the format. Sort of reads like a screenplay, though not in a positive sense. "Sarah Boyle is never quite sure how many children she has" (31). I didn't really enjoy reading it. It might be said that the importance and relevance of the story were lost on me, I don't know. I'm just not all that impressed by the content.
