Status Updates From Creep

“I dig my fingers into my cheeks and feel the sticky edges of the cuts on my hands pulling apart from each other. My heart beats and beats. I think of casting myself on the funeral pyre of my beloved. I begin to feel ridiculous. I button my shirt up again.”

van straaten has really great moments…plot points, small interiority details…but i wish that she would use more periods, split up her sentences more. everytime blurs together, and i ca understand that might be intentional because of the unstable narrator, but it’s distracting.
