PR: In this queer little-girl like first person that narrates the story the first thing we get struck by is the "nice doctors" that say "tell you're story so that others learn from your mistakes, you'll be dead soon". Wow. These are real doctors? Have you checked for medical licence?
Anyways, the story in question is about some anorexic but even more braindead than the usual type, she's obsessed with going back to childhood and thinks that if she's small enough (teeny tiny) then she'll be like a child, so she vomits all her food everyday for years.
Wow again. Years? Years. Ok, guess my grasp on human biology is more tenous than I thought, I'd estimate that few weeks in, maybe a couple months and you'll end up in the ER, but OK. Author realizes at some point that this is absurd so pulls another absurdity to justify the absurd, the character remebers that bi-weekly, she binges on food, as in "eat everything in the fridge" which I'm going to suppose is not much if she can eat it all.
Now, people who has suffered from bad eating habits know that the less you eat the less you can eat in one binge, that's why competitive eaters stretch their stomach eating rather than starve before the event.
Apparently this wasn't enough as she's still having complexes about her weight, so steel yourself for her next great "idea". She heard that cancer pacients loose weight to rad therapy, therefore, she thinks "if I get radiotion sickness, then I'll lose weight!" Even if this was a bit propustous is not the end of it, apparently at the recycling facility she works at have this unguarded radiotive core just there, unlocked in the open for anyone to steal.
I'm not talking about safety or anything like that, radioactive materials by the pound as MC find it is extremely expensive and it's regulated, you can't just have it lying around!
Well she steals it, scoops it up and eats it. Yeah, eats it. Why eat it instead of leaving it in the nightstand, if it'd get you radiated anyways? No idea. Well, teeny seems to have some kickass complexity because (I quote) "other than vomiting and stomach ache, I was fine for days". Triple wow. Days, you say? You ate some radioactive goo, and you were fine for days? Incredible. It's after a few weeks that she finally collapses, and it hits her like a train, she loses hair, gets blisters, bleeding all the things that were supposed to happen a few hours after eating whatever it was she ate. By the time she comes to, because (I quote) "the doctors have gave me drugs to wake me up", check their licence they don't have one I swear, she notices that she has no skin (what?) no lower jaw for some reason (???) and that her esophagus has been burnt. Again, what? Wasn't the radioactive material in her stomach??? The doctors, sorry, "the doctors" ask to do experiments on her to "help others" and like, wow. Doctors according to Max Lobdell are terrible, man. And she agrees! How did she agree if she can't move or speak? How is she even narrating this story? Anyways, teeny tiny people. Reading this gave me cancer! 2.5/10

PS: I couldn't find any "soft, blue, clay like glowing substance" in any of my searches, radioactive or otherwise, but considering that she works at a recycling facility of sorts and based on the "doctors" saying "cesium" I believe the author meant to say it was a powder rather than clay and that the story is based on the Goiânia accident where a junkyard saveges some of the stuff and unknowingly gets his family killed with the radioactive stuff.
