Encore Worthy: a Mountains & Men Prequel Novella
“Sometimes I wonder why I even bother with that woman. My mother is not a mom. She hasn’t been for a really long time. I moved away—no, ran away—after I finished high school, just so that I didn’t have to feel obligated to spend any extra time with her. Sure, Colorado is a far cry from New Jersey, and maybe the distance between us is a little dramatic, but I’m happy here. Well, I’m generally happy here. Then she calls me. Like clockwork. Every two weeks, always on a Saturday night—as if she know...s I don’t have a life.
Every conversation feels the same. She wants to know how work is going. She wants to know if I’m eating enough. Then she proceeds to bitch and moan about her own damn, miserable existence. She does it in such a way that if you were anyone other than me, you’d think she was talking about something as casual as the weather. But I am me; I’ve known the woman since birth. Listening to her talk about her life is like listening to her tell me why I owe her thirty minutes every other Saturday—because she brought me into this world and she sacrificed everything to make sure I stayed in it.MoreLess
