A PodCastle Original!
Rated PG.
The front door goes ding-a-ling and in walks a young woman, with bouncing blonde curls, bright blue eyes, blemish-free skin. The picture of perfection, some would say.
But I know better. I’ve seen girls like her, and I’ll see a million more, all optimistic hope-filled bags of flesh. Then they come to me and that changes everything.
The young woman points to the sign in the window, says something about wanting a tattoo above the crack of her little ass. Charming.
