Removal, ironically an update

Hi Friends,

I made something a lot different. I intentionally didn't add it as an update the bound pandemic diary pdf because I feel like I should preface some content warnings to keep in mind before downloading the update.

content warning: body horror, gore, gender things

Being quarantined has really made me acknowledge my body and my gender. I've been having lots of those conversations and epiphanies with lots of friends. This short story is a product of those conversations with myself and others. I hope ya'll enjoy reading it and I hope you're spending this time to acknowledge yourself and your relationship to your communities.

Below, is an excerpt of the story if you're curious what's going on.

Wishing you the best,

Vian

an excerpt of Removal

“Will it hurt?” a voice came from my body, one I hadn’t heard since I was young.
The blade paused on my skin, raising goosebumps where it rested. “No.”
It was only until an “Okay,” left on my breath that the blade moved again.

I tore my eyes away from the spot on the wall, my mind tormented with the horrible imaginings of what destruction could be brought by the tiny blade. Finally I looked down at my chest.
