Normal Woman at the Saturday Morning Farmer’s Market

“Alaina Dean’s odd story is awesome because of its strangeness — a young woman combating an unnamed illness, estranged from herself, with a boyfriend who is of no help.

Her eerie take on the mundane — like returning trips to the farmer’s market and her sister’s maybe-lover waiter — builds tension beautifully. What she really desires is meat from the butcher. This is worth reading to the end.” — Nora Lange
