This is probably my bleakest story. It was published a couple years ago in a journal that went defunct. Very few people read it when it first came out and I think even fewer liked it, lol, but I’m foisting it on the world once more. I’m guessing that if you follow me here you’ve got the stomach for this sort of thing, but probably skip this one if you’re sensitive.

Huge thanks to the incredible Some Words for giving this a new home!
