My Bestie’s Dad Likes Me Wet
Like I was a baby goat he was about to slaughter.
His eyes were wide, unblinking and glassy with something deranged and hungry. It scared me more than the blood-crusted saw gripped tight in his other hand, its teeth glinting under the harsh fluorescent light.
“Please… please… I’m sorry… I’m not—”
The words tumbled out, frantic, but they were cut off when he threw his head back and laughed.
It was a wet, tearing sound that ricocheted off the walls, filled the room, drowned everything else. He laughed so hard he doubled over, clutching his stomach, the sound manic and unhinged like the Joker tormenting Harley Quinn, except this wasn’t a performance.
