Sooo this was originally my entry for the 2019 Commonwealth Essay Competition that I participated in as part of school. There was a 1,500-word limit as part of the competition's rules, but I've since edited it to my liking. It really isn't my favorite piece of work because of both the word and the topic limitations that I had to work within, so please don't expect much. That being said, hope you enjoy it :) and feel free to comment and give as much feedback and criticism as you like. (please don't mind the cover; this is my first time designing one)

I am republishing this for a friend who wanted to read a sample of my work. The plot is all over the place, but I know I'll revisit it in future. I initially wrote this in 2017 before I knew a lot of things I know now. There's a lot in here that is culturally insensitive. I have done my best to edit out what I could find at first glance, but if you see something glaringly offensive please make a comment about it so that I can correct my errors. The most egregious example that comes to mind is using the G-word for the Romani and relying on unflattering stereotypes. I plan to correct a lot of this in proceeding drafts. Other than that, enjoy my emotional, nonsensical ride! Trigger warnings for: body dysmorphia, body horror, medical trauma, sexual assault
