Oh, lord, this story freaked me out. I can’t remember the last time a PseudoPod story affected me so strongly. From the scene where the narrator starts eating the algae, all the way through the end, I found it deeply disturbing. I made the mistake of listening to it as I was lying in bed. I didn’t get to sleep for a really long time after that.
In case it isn’t clear, I say all of the above as praise.
