Day One Hundred Fifty-Nine: "Black Box" by Jennifer Egan

Direction.

A woman lists the requirements to satisfy her "designated mate" and reflects on the need to reflect on her situation. It was an interesting read and told entirely in the second person which is rare and made the story come off as choppy but still entertaining in parts.

I'm not sure how I really feel about this story but I admire what the author was trying to do with playing with form and voice. A link to the story online is below:
