Well done! I felt like I was living in your character’s pustule-ridden skin. Great sense of place too.

Spectacular and gruesome, packed with endless on-the-body details that left me making unintelligible sounds while sitting alone in my kitchen. The opening had me thinking “scaphism, perhaps?” (which is another horror that fascinates me) until I looked up “oubliette.” I love learning new things, especially when the lesson comes in such a grisly package.

Scaphism. I just looked that up. It's the same principle as here! I guess I channeled it.

Nick, she always gets the antibiotics. Except for the murder, this is a kind of Sisyphus myth.
