I'm not normally squimish. I love Chuck Palahniuk's Guts and I can read through Butchering the Human Carcass for Human Consumption no problem. I've spent days reading through the Alt.Suicide.Holiday FAQ because the methods section is fascinating. I'm not suicidal, I just have a dark sense of humor.
But this New Yorker article broke me. I couldn't finish it. Couldn't even get through the second section. Even writing this out, I'm on the edge of my seat because I HAVE TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THE WOMAN but just opening the article makes me shake and if I think about it too long, I start trying to dry my hands on my pants OCD style.
And now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to go lie down.
