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)
