Guts, is narrated by a woman named Sheila, who is dating a med student named Tim. Sheila becomes increasingly obsessed with bodies and diseases, as she learns more about Tim's work, and she is particularly fixated on her own, as she is extremely insecure about her weight. These insecurities ultimately drive Sheila to drink excessively. In the story's climax, she shows up at Tim's hospital in a drunken state of distress, and he calms her down by lovingly touching and naming each part of her body.
