WORLD OF DEATH Ep. 93 – Monogamy / Match Made In Heaven

Published

on

Love is in the air Friends and Neighbors,

Welcome back to the World of Death! This week we bring you a pair of horrific scenes straight from the deepest recesses of that beloved institution of dating. As the man said, “Any love is good love, so I took what I could get” and the women in today’s episode are following this mandate. Romance is always a game of cat and mouse, sometimes you are the cat and, well…

In the segment, “Match made in Heaven,” Joshua Devor and Andy Parker bring to you a real slice of life. A classic tale, boy meets girl and falls into romantic bliss. For the first time in a while, this boy has found a girl that he can take home to mother. And mother is just as excited to see the new addition to her son’s life for sure. She has put on her finest dress and set out the nice china. In a dinner scene that draws homage from both Alfred Hitchcock and Tobe Hooper, we witness one of life’s little rituals we can all relate to. You can almost feel the trepidation and anticipation in his voice as the excitement of this meeting of mother and girlfriend builds to fruition. If only father was home from work on time…

In the later segment, “Monogamy” we get a not-so-gentle reminder of the need to remain faithful to our significant other, especially on one’s anniversary! When the young man in this story decides to add a third wheel to the night’s romantic adventures, he soon discovers that he should have run this by his sweetheart first. In fact, things don’t look like smooth sailing for this new girl in the harbor, she may find herself shipping out of this story much sooner rather than later. Our would be Polyamorist may just learn that his lady is a one-man-woman demanding a one-woman-man. But never fear, this tale of temptation to romantic exploration is not headed to unbound tragedy, in fact it looks like our couple will be bound together for a long, long time after all.

These are our tales of romance and dalliance today. Please, share this among your friends, and remember that we offer a new sampling of twisted tales twice a week.
