This is a great short story. Super eerie and dark. Says a lot about the struggles women have faced. It's definitely a story to reflect on. I'll admit that where the story was headed felt very obvious and predictable from the start, but it worked for what the story is trying to achieve. Without saying too much, it didn't take away from how purposefully saddening that ending was.
