Illustration for She has really grown into her face, short story by Benjamin Duncan

There is a new short story in Psi-Fi.

She has really grown into her face by Benjamin Duncan.

Hugo and Lydia always assumed their teenage daughter, Laura, would go through the usual phases—moody silences, questionable music, maybe even a rebellious haircut. What they didn’t expect was darts, bitter, and rants about the ‘Westminster bubble.’ As Laura’s transformation takes a bizarre and alarming turn, her parents seek expert help—only to discover the unthinkable. A surreal satire on identity, social divides, and the creeping horror of unexpected dinner guests, She has really grown into her face is a darkly comic tale of parental bewilderment in the face of the truly inexplicable.

The story.
