"Personal Growth," by Myk Pilgrim
The Wicked Library 1114, July 14th, 2022 (?)
Several thousand words at least
I was deeply absorbed by this piece of science fiction horror but didn't completely understand what happened. Why do these beloved fat mannequins have to be so ephemeral? Plus, how do they see and hear when they can't seem to smell and don't have eyes? Anyway, my mild confusion didn't stop me from enjoying the story greatly.
The daughter's gender transition didn't feel very relevant, but it certainly showed what an accepting dad this guy is, so maybe it was important to keeping him sympathetic to the end.
