IT GIRL

16/09/2025

Michelle slowly opens the door to her apartment. She says 'Uh hey, I'm back'. Marilyn is sitting in the dark, staring at the TV. She does not acknowledge Michelle. Michelle holds up a shopping bag and says 'Uh I got us some steak. I'll get cooking.' Michelle switches on the light and starts cooking the steak in the kitchen. As the aroma spreads through the house, she asks 'Oh! Uhh, want a piece?' Michelle throws the steak onnto the plate and says 'Let me cut it for you'. However, as she's cutting the steak, she accidentally slices her hand. She stares in shock as her hand bleeds bright red. Marilyn grabs Michelle's arm. Michelle recoils in fear, but Marilyn brings the wounded hand to her mouth and starts sucking the blood from the cut. Michelle gives in and allows Marilyn to take control, as she moves from Michelle's hand to her face. The smoke detector goes off, Michelle having left the pan she was cooking the steak in on the stove. Michelle, blood on her arm and face, pushes Marilyn away and shouts 'Fuck! I'm stupid.' She removes the pan from the flame and thinks 'Geez, now the mood is ruined.' Marilyn says 'I looks forward to next time' and slips away. Michelle stares at her bloody hand and ponders this.
