#51: The Absence of Cheese
This story is truly tragic. This person lives with intense stomach pain every day. She’s just come to accept that having a stomach ache every day is normal. When she brought it up to one of her coworkers, they became extremely concerned. It turns out that living with debilitating stomach aches on a daily basis is not, in fact, normal.
They got it checked out and discovered the culprit. They have extreme anxiety. Yup, that’ll do it. Oh, also, they can’t eat cheese. Apparently, the combination of cheese and anxiety is what’s causing their debilitating pain. Cheese is one of the few sources of joy on this planet, so we don’t know how this person made that tough decision.
