TFW a random reader hunts you down to tell you how much they loved the story.
I mean, it’s totally warm & fuzzy. But also as awkward AF.

FMC is a baker which is all weights & fractions & ratios.
Then the otherwise confident, capable character makes a self-deprecating comment about how she’s bad at numbers.

Our story of the week is “Things I Don’t Tell My Sister” by MM Schreier in Factor Four Magazine.
This story teases you with one horror of sisterhood only to hit you with a different one altogether at the end. Short, sweet, and sublimely messed up.
