Ander

Without River around, Ander could throw parties every day, but drugs were expensive and he was running out of money, so he decided to pay a visit to his ex-girlfriend, Alma. She was a lonely 50 yo lady who lived with her 13 cats in her mansion in the Snobby Neighborhood.

He drove his father's old car, a rusted Toyota Corolla, and made it to her house in record time as he ignored all traffic laws.

There was a huge gate at the entrance but since he had stolen a pair of keys, he could unlock it and broke inside.

Alma was watering her plants when Ander grabbed her from behind, scaring the shit out of her.

"SURPRISE SURPRISE!" he screamed in her ears, and the old lady jumped in fear, turning to him.

"ANDER LOVE, YOU RETURNED!" she said as soon as she recognized him, and tried to hug him.

But Ander dodged her and pushed her away violently. The old lady fell over her plants, bruising her arms.

"Yeah, it's me." Ander puffed his cigar. "How have you been, bitch... I mean, Alma."

"Very sad, but you made my day with your presence, my ray of sunshine." She beamed at him, blushing as she struggled to get up. Her left arm was full of thorns from her roses.

"Yeah, I'm a gift to the world." He spat on some roses. "Anyway, I came here because I needed a favor."

"Anything you want, love." She tried to touch his hand, but Ander punched her arm away.

"I need a few hundred... or maybe a thousand dollars?" He smirked.

"Of course!" She ran to her mansion and invited him to follow her.

Reluctantly, Ander followed her and dropped on a velvet sofa.

The old lady drew a credit card from her purse and showed it to him. "You can use my card for as long as you need it, sweetie."

"Thanks!" Ander tried to snatch it from her wrinkled hand but Alma took it away.

"But first." She leaned closer and stretched her sluggish lips. "Give mommy a kiss."

"Sure." Ander leaned closer but as the lady closed her eyes, she punched her across the face and took her card away.

As the lady collapsed on the floor, Ander ran away, laughing and thinking about all the stupid things he could buy.
