You’re never allowed all your friends round. Your mom says they make too much mess so one or two at a time is best. But this morning she’s had a change of heart and encourages you to invite everyone round. She says she’s in a generous mood and she even has a surprise for you. Something that you can all do together instead of playing video games all evening and is guaranteed not to make any mess for her. Curious as to what it is, you and all your friends arrive home after school. Mom hands around a bowl of candies, watching you each devour them with a knowing grin on her face. All of a sudden, you and your friends find yourselves on the living room floor bewildered and frightened. When you get your bearings, you notice your mom towering above you laughing to herself. She explains this will allow her to keep you all under control and behaving just as she wants. But the problem is, seeing you eat all that candy’s got mom feeling peckish. There aren’t any snacks left in the house after she spiked all the candy, and the strangest feeling has come over her. Your tiny little friends are beginning to look rather appetizing running around on the floor. She figures they’re all so tiny, it would be easy to explain away one little missing friend. Fighting her urge as she lifts him to her mouth, you watch in horror as mom licks, sucks then swallows him whole. Not satisfied with just one, mom’s urges get stronger and stronger. She finds herself not only insatiably hungry but strangely turned on by catching and consuming all your tiny friends one by one. Eventually, you’re the only one left standing, but can you convince mom to spare you?
