Two Screws
A gruesome confession, a nasty betrayal, and a shocking twist highlight this quiet short story.
Victoria and Rupert Temmler have an unusual mother/son relationship. With only 16 years between them, Rupert and his mother enjoy a fairy-tale life of carefree privilege, courtesy of the Temmler dynasty. A deep bond forged in friendship and partnership keeps the dynasty thriving and the pocketbooks fat.
But when Victoria falls ill, she tells Rupert a grisly tale of how she procured him as her son. Shocked and enraged, Rupert leans on his oldest friend, Keaton, who tries desperately to shield Rupert from his own dark secret. As the last fragile threads of deceit finally whittle away, Rupert is left with two unfathomable truths, and one very uncertain future.
