The Small Town Murders

Mothers Day

On the news there's another missing girl every week there's a teenage girl missing.. I'd love to get my hands on the guy doing it, sick fuck.

"Good morning dear, pancakes?"

"Mum? What are you doing here?"

"What? A mother can't visit her son anymore?"

"Mum I thought you were in Florida? When did you get here?"

"My dear boy, are you okay?"

"Yes mother I'm fine, please answer me. You know it angers me when you don't answer me"

"Fine I got here this morning, it's your father, he left me, so I came home. Hoping to just be normal for a while"

"Oh god, mum I'm so sorry, yeah I'll have some pancakes, thank you"

Riiing riiing

"One minute mum it's Grace. Hello, what's up?"

"Hey man how you holding up?"

"Yeah I'm doing great, just waiting for the pancakes, how are you?

"Yeah not too bad,  other than these jerks at work-"
she says through gritted teeth I tell her not to do this, she knows it's bad she'll crack a tooth!

"-I hate Mothers Day. People keep asking me if I'm a mum and then look at me all sad when I say no. Like, c'mon people, I'm only 18, I don't want a damn kid right now. Some lady even sighed and said, "Aw, maybe someday sweetheart" and I'm just like, seriously like, what the fuck, y'know what I mean?"

"I mean I don't get that but I know it must be annoying, you should say "I was.. once" and stare off into the distance behind them"

"Hah! I totally should! Anyway, I just called to see how you were, soo?"

"Didn't we already do this? I'm fine, are you?"

"Yeah, look I gotta go works Getting crazy, call me if you feel down okay?"
"Here you go dear" mum says as she plants a kiss on my hairline
"Thanks mum. Okay well pancakes are done now anyway,  so have fun at work"
"Wait did you say m-"
Deet

"Happy Mothers Day mumzie, I don't have your gift I didn't know you'd be here"

"Oh you don't have to get me anything my dear, but thank you, eat your pancakes I'm gonna clean up"

"Anyway I have to go see you soon mother"
