The Malingerer (The Forerunner) by Charlotte Perkins Gilman: A young woman, Yellow Wallpaper, is confined to a room by her husband for reasons unknown. She becomes increasingly obsessed with the wallpaper in the room, seeing patterns and shapes that no one else can see. As she becomes more and more fixated on the wallpaper, she begins to lose touch with reality, leading to a descent into madness.
