Length: 8597 words
Sub-genre: horror, spy/thriller, dystopia, short story
Why it's awesome: Brillian use of second character narration as it's formatted as thought transcription of a lady spy. Dark and thought provoking
Any other important information to know about: involves sexual threat/violence, disassociation
