I really enjoyed the flow of this story. It's disturbing, of course, but not unnecessarily. The disturbing thoughts or descriptions feel like realistic thoughts a person in this situation may have experienced. I definitely made a face and tensed up at the thought of some actions, but nothing it's not a gore-fest or written with the intent of making the reader so uncomfortable that it becomes unbearable. It's disgusting in more than one way and it makes you reconsider whether or not you really know anybody.
