It's a 3k fiction story that focuses on Will and how dealing with his old girlfriend's insanity warps him in permanent ways, and makes him realize more about life and the way the world works.

It has horror elements in it simply because his gf is crazy and acts in a crazy, threatening way.

I would appreciate thoughts/comments/critiques/wise readers -- whatever.

Thanks!

Will waited patiently in front of the door, waiting for Mary to answer his knock. She'd be surprised to see him again; it had been two years since he had left her. But he hadn't returned to spark the relationship up again. That sort of thing was for reality TV.

All he wanted to do was apologize, sit back, and reminisce -- work out the old pain, flush it out, and move on.

"Who's there?" Mary called out.

"It's me, Will. I was passing by and thought I'd say hello."

He could swear he heard her curse, but it was probably just his imagination. "Coming," Mary said.

Seconds later, the door opened.

Will gasped.

Mary had become not just fat, but obese! Before, she had been attractive enough, though not amazingly beautiful. Now it was almost painful to look at her.
