Dragged Into Darkness
“Grace stared at her toes and wriggled them. How much did her big toe weigh? Two, three ounces? It was difficult to say, she had never weighed individual body parts. Would it matter if she lost a toe? Nobody would see it, especially a man. At forty-one, Grace was husbandless and boyfriendless, and who could blame any man for not wanting her in her condition? She looked up from the scales at herself in the bathroom mirror.
“Gravity and cellulite should be tried for crimes against humanity,...” she said scornfully to her reflection.

She returned home from Mercy General the following night, having managed to smuggle out equipment and write a bogus prescription for anesthetic. Grace cleaned the kitchen vinyl with disinfectant before positioning herself on the floor with her medical bag. She injected each of her feet with the local anesthetic and waited for the drug to take effect. After fifteen minutes she pricked her toes with a pin. She didn’t feel a thing.MoreLess
