This was a fun read. Creepy, too, because his mother treats him like a little boy. She’s always suggesting the right way to do something, which is never his way.
He’s dating Mia and invites her round for a meal, but his mother is there, arms folded and tutting at him. He hasn’t done things the way she would, and that’s frowned upon.
It becomes even creepier when she hangs around for his date, frowning in the corner. That’s when I began to suspect something. There was still one more twist at the end that left me wondering.
A clever tale with dark humour that fits nicely into the story.
