Emily Vargas has been taken captive. As part of his conditioning methods, her captor refuses to speak to her, knowing how much she craves human contact. Told in the first person from Emily's perspective, Comfort Food explores what happens when all expectations of pleasure and pain are turned upside down, as whips become comfort and chicken soup becomes punishment.… (mais)

If you don't like dark and uncomfortable stories, stay away from this one. It was well-written, it was dark and it made complete sense to me which breaks my heart at the same time. It was also very different than I expected but I am not sure what that was. I won't be reading it again but I am glad I read it. ( )

It’s not that we live in abject terror twenty-four hours a day thinking some random man is going to come along and rape or kill us. Only the most neurotic of us think that way.
You always want your dismemberment to happen after the death.
I’d seen enough woman-in-peril movies, and I was no MacGyver.
The juxtaposition of fear and helplessness, set up next to complete pleasure and eventual surrender.
Those things could still be on the menu. It was early yet.
Fiction had sold me pretty lies, and none of them did me any good now.
He always gave me choices. Or maybe what he gave me was force wrapped in the pretty package of pretend free will.
The surrender, finally, of everything to him. The acceptance that she was now his creature, not her own, and the inexplicable peace that brought her.
How can the crazy judge the crazy?
I found myself wanting the monster because it was honest, a level of honesty most go their entire lives without confronting, always content to hide behind their social masks and business cards.
Today I found something beautiful and decided to break it. I wanted to see it shatter in my hand and crumble at my feet. Her name is Emily Vargas. She’s bright and educated and stunning. Articulate. She’ll want someone to talk to her.
If I have this dark need to have complete power over her, she has an equal almost pathological need to give it to me.
In the end the most monstrous thing he did was let me go. Especially in light of the fact that everyone else had let me go, too.
Me feel naked and exposed. Over months of being with him, my prison had become my sanctuary, and now that I was free, the world was my prison. There was nowhere left to run.
What we shared was deeper than love. It was a mad and unyielding obsession, and it was mutual. And the flames from it would likely kill one of us some day. Probably me. I couldn’t bring myself to care. I’d rather have this intensity with him than a hundred years of mediocrity with another.
