Narrated for Pseudopod by Donna Lynch
The second piece of love-themed flash fiction starts about 7 minutes into the podcast.
A brilliant analogy for an abusive relationship. Absolutely horrifying; I love the way the narrator still loves him, and the way he says he loves her as he takes our narrator apart. The genius here is that both the supernatural foreground story and the real-world relationships it represents are great horror stories in their own right, and they are combined into a tight little 5-minute story. I never knew "I love you" could be such a horrifying last line.
5 not-so-inner demons out of 5.
