Ok I didn't understand the story with the lack of breath - did she decided to let that guy try and kill her?

The wolf one was cool, quite intense and visceral

The one after that I just started but don't think I didn't notice Mina and Lucy (yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

So that anatomy one is def the first one where I was really really disgusted, had to take a lot of breaks. Yikes

Pregnant by gun is kinda crazy I’ll say

Oh now that one was rough. I'm very intrigued by the different ways body dysmorphia is portrayed in these stories. Something something body horror and gender etc etc

Ok weird yeah i don’t think i fully understood this one either. except for how awful the medical system can be but idk the rest
