Bad Date

by Ellery Lloyd

no will always turn into a yes if you only persist—that’s what my mother always said.

Wolf isn’t aware that he was catfished and brainwashed into killing the men his mother loved.

When the police come, we will say we have never seen him before. That he has broken in, and it is probably not the first time. He will start ranting and raving about being my boyfriend I’m sure, but he will not be able to produce a shred of evidence of a single date, and I will be able to prove I was elsewhere for each and every one. I have done this for you, but this is the end of it, Wolf. Do you hear me? Do you understand?”
