Romance
by Elle Nash
Dee-Dee slaughters 40,000 chickens per shift at a Missouri meatpacking plant, each stab and cut punishing her body. But the real horror is happening inside her—a pregnancy that feels less like creation and more like invasion. Elle Nash delivers a visceral, unflinching meditation on labor, bodily autonomy, and the violence we endure to survive.
