This 2022 story about a spirit who inhabits the mind and body of a woman with an eating disorder is devastating. I was in tears by the end. If you read one story by Hudak, make it this one:

Elizabeth is the first person to notice I’m inside her.

“Tell me how to do it,” she whispers.

It’s a shock. No one has spoken to me directly in ages. I’m nothing more than a whisper when I slip beneath her skin. I’m less than a breath. I should be undetectable, but somehow, I’m not.
