Short Pick Of The Day: ‘Foreign Body’ by Marta Magnuska

“A foreign body lives its own life. You’re not able to get rid of it, it’s always with you, you need it. Caress that odd part of yours, don’t try to shave its long tousled fur. This is a story about something that’s considered to be strange at first but turns out to be the dearest thing to us. About the transformation of inside and outside.”
