Love this! Your language dresses up this subject in a new and I would say more frightening light. I love the perspective you’ve taken.

Because of that, I’d love to see the last line have a bit more punch to it. You’re not shy at all about what you’re trying to say throughout the whole story, but suddenly at the end it’s kind of a shrug, the only “maybe” in the whole piece. I’d like to see the no-nonsense carried out end to end.

A beautiful muse on the differences between “wants” and “needs”. I’m at a crossroads right now, the closer I move in the right direction the more sick I become; mental strength is taxing.

This really is beautiful.
