 I generally don’t care for these kinds of stories, but this is well-written. It’s disturbing without resorting to cheap shock tactics, instead using evocative language to paint a picture of a nightmare. The part about vomiting is particularly evocative, and the opening in which the narrator mentions being ill brings up the possibility of the scenes described being just a sickness-induced hallucination, causing the reader to wonder. I don’t know if this is intentional or not, but there’s also another factor that isn’t obvious on the surface. This story taps into the fear of suddenly finding out that something’s very wrong with someone or something you care strongly about. Most if not all of us have had a relative, friend, or celebrity that we cared dearly about and later found out they had a serious problem (sometimes revealed only by the death of said person), shocking our minds and forcing us to confront something we didn’t want to deal with.
