SF Drabble #114 “Clarice Explains It All”

“Mom.”

“Honey, I just think—“

Mom.”

“Clarice, your father and I don’t want you getting hurt. He’s… you just have to accept that he’s—”

“Why would I get hurt? He loves me.”

“Clarice, he’s not human.”

“I noticed.”

“Clarice—“

“I’m saying: be assured that in the nine months Klek and I have been dating I’ve noticed that he’s not human. Christ, mom: he has green skin. He has twelve fingers and eight toes. I notice that he’s not human all the time. Especially in bed. Seriously. We’re anatomically compatible, but barely. And I mean that in a good way.”

“Clarice!”
