I finally gave in and went back to visit Mom. One weekend she dragged me with her to the mall. While we browsed, a guy I'd dated in high school recognized me and came up to say hi.
I shrieked like a banshee.
I'd imagined him tortured, mangled, and dead so many times that I'd come to believe it.
Too fucking complex to explain, so I just told Mom and him I got a cramp.
