Squashing Shirley

Beth knows she's overweight. Obese, actually. She's disgusted at herself and prays daily for God to take her in her sleep. But He doesn't. 

She lives alone, is practically bed ridden, and relies on her brother to visit and bathe her daily. Not the most dignified of situations.

But despite her physical disabilities, Beth manages to run her own business from the single room that she's confined to. It's not the business she ever intended to run, but she's earning a living. Except this isn't living, this is just existing, for her staple diet consists of fast food, and lots of it. And it's sure to send her to an early grave as she continues the habit to satisfy other people's festishes online.

Until one day, someone decides it's time to change. But that someone isn't Beth.

Will Beth change her ways and live a healthier lifestyle? Find out in 'Squashing Shirley', the new 'My 600lb Life' meets 'Black Mirror' short story from J. M. Eckford.
