Hey!
Well, I might as well post it.
I've been wondering what you would make of this story. It seems like this author is trying to invent you without knowing you exist? (And also go on weird rants about consciousness, but that's neither here nor there.)

As for the story... I mean, it's kinda interesting, though nothing particularly new, for me anyway. In some ways it IS kinda familiar, though the protagonist of the story is more serially singlet than plural! More akin to dissociative fugue. Though I admit, had we been in Terry's place, we would've been way cagier and less aggressive; dealing with psychologically compromised strangers who have the legal ability to commit you at will is a dicey game, and my main complaint would be that the narrator seems WAY too confident that she can just leave and get out, that there's absolutely no hazard in just being bluntly herself. But perhaps that's just me projecting my own psychology onto it.
