The Lover

Jason had no money and no job. He did, however, have a girlfriend. Well, technically, she was an apple. He hated her, though, what could he do? In the end, he was just another bum defecating in just another trash can.

That afternoon Jason ate his girlfriend with a side of discarded nappy, and whilst it wasnt the best meal hed ever had, it was pretty fucking good.

And thats that he stated, chasing a paper bag, Time to find me a new lover.

Though Jason had only just broken-up with his girlfriend, hed had his eye out for quite some time. Two weeks prior hed spotted a rare beauty just across the way. Shed spat at him in disgust. This didnt bother Jason. The way he saw it, any attention was good attention.

Humans are too difficult, he decided. Perhaps he should get himself a nice possum. Hed heard they make great pets. A girlfriend is basically a hyper-evolved, hyper-sensitive pet. A possum could make noise, they could interact! His ex-girlfriend used to just sit there, silently. Fuck her!

So, that said, Jason set out with a goal in mind: To find a cute possum.

Later that day he found his answer. She was standing in the middle of the road. He ran closer. She was lying in the middle of the road.

She was the most beautiful possum hed ever laid eyes on. He picked her up and stuffed her into his jacket. Dont worry babe He whispered, Ive got ya

He coaxed her gently as they walked back to his den. So, whats a cute gal like yourself doing in a neighborhood like this? He asked.

She didnt reply.

So, babe, should we eat out tonight? Im thinking in He whispered sweetly.

Again, she didnt reply.

Youre a super-sweet thang He stated.

That night, he ate her with a side of denim.

this is very fresh. my only suggestion is to nix the word "whilst," as it doesn't fit with the rest of the stories tone.

Haha! Nice story. ( I was acutally going to use this post to say how it's illogical to pick up a live possum and have it do nothing. Then I realized it was dead.)
