    thank you! i didn’t think it was all that so that means a lot. i love body horror so i tried to weave it in a little, and the idea of an unintended danger was the first thing that sprang to mind when i read the prompt.

      I just love that at its core it’s a tragic love story more than anything else, enhances the body horror aspects.

        yeah i think the best horror stories have other genres interwoven in them, one of my favourite examples being the yellow wallpaper. fear is a slow build so it works best to play with other emotions while you’re ramping up to a big scare.
