Samadrita is finished

I'm glad it's over. But I'm equally glad to have known Offred.

I'm sure by the time I finish reading, I'll need to hug a few life-sized teddy bears and watch reruns of Teletubbies or cutesy anime shows to feel better again.

So Offred is basically speaking inside her head. She doesn't have the liberty to write and even to speak freely or out of line.
Although this explains the awkward, disjointed prose it still doesn't provide much comfort.
