“Lock” by Katarzyna Skręt

Submitted to Contest #201

[This story contains themes or references to stalking] “Who’s the top?” “I, as usual. But seriously, I can do anything for him. He is so precious.” They laughed, but I have a feeling they weren't sincere. They always want to get on my good side for selfish reasons. I bottomed up a glass and waved my hand for another bottle. Putting annoying assholes aside, today was a good day. Soju tasted sweet. “How come you never invited us? You live alone and yet no one ever set foot in your apartment,” they sulked. “Isn’t it enough that I pay f...
