Meet Mother... Won't You?

She claimed we were soulmates, intertwined

A spiritual connection

Asked me to meet her mother

We'd been dating three weeks ...

Splashed in red she stood

Beckoned me in

To meet Mom's ...

Pieces ...

RUN!!

    Lol. Always a crazy one out there. Glad your narrator ran for the hills!

  • Oh my, this was soooo delicious! Your cover photo made me so hungry. I was wondering what kinda psycho would want someone who meet their mom just after 3 weeks. Then you said she was in pieces. Now that's perfectly normal hehehehehehe
