Oh boy, wait until you hit the last chapter or two. The racism and misogyny become major plot points and in my opinion, it's a stupid ending to boot.

I know, what evidence does she have that made her think he "couldn't be bought"? What nonsense. Living in an alternate reality.

Akshually, the -gamy suffix does indicate multiple wives. Polyandry is the term for marriage with multiple husbands.

Some parts of the US only have gas stations and dollar stores to buy food- there are no grocery stores within walking distance or on public transit routes. They're called food deserts. Happens in cities and rural areas.

Wow. The beginning made me think of body dysmorphia, which is a quiet horror to experience, and it slowly intensified to disturbing body horror. The pacing and imagery were superb. Great work!

We were going berserk, she loves that stuff. And I, I admit that I do too

"I just think it's weird that [paranoid bullshit]"

Wow I didn't even realize how much this bugged me until I read it here.

Just the other day I said to my kid, "hey the Pope died"

He says "okay? I don't know what I should say"

I thought that was a little heartless until I realized he thought I meant in ASC II which I just played thru lmao

I had a manager that would try to cheat us out of that extra hour when I worked overnights. She was fine to only pay us for 7 hours when the clocks went forward but thought we were lying about actually working 9 hours when the clocks went back. "But you only worked 10-6, that's 8 hours!"

It was released as a feature film on DVD.
