Pandemic Special 2 - Mary Marrow

Pandemic special number one! I'm cooped up in my cabin so I'm going to release a bunch of my own stories, read by myself. This one first appeared in Fireside Fiction in 2016. It's a response to nihilism and misanthropy, but mostly it's about how quickly I start talking to myself when I'm alone.
