Sam used his small pointing finger to tap each old bloodstain on the sheet; they dated back more than a decade, a disgusting constellation. It was one of those things you didn’t notice until suddenly you did. Like ants. Like everything.

WHO GAVE THIS LESS THAN FIVE STARS. I'm sorry, but you're either a prude or you're repressed or something just wasn't going your way when you read it. Because this is an absolutely perfect work of short fiction. Maybe the best thing The New Yorker has published this decade.
