What a poetic way of conveying what I interpreted as a truly repulsive ending.

Changed the ending a little bit, not sure it came across quite as I wanted it!

I love this lots! This is positively layered with interesting tidbits as well as having an ending that can be open to interpretation but is not vague or ambivalent. Excellent job.

This is the creepiest thing I’ve read in quite a while. I like it!

Very sad, and it’s a lovely rendition of how a childhood defense mechanism against being a bit lonely slowly warps to reflect the world as she experiences it. Very nicely done.
