Annie’s been stuck under Mary’s iron fist for years—stepmom thinks sin is contagious and treats anything below the belt like it’s radioactive. But last night Annie finally cracked. She snuck a peek at some porn, got herself off hard, and thought she’d gotten away clean. Morning hits different, though. There’s this warm, throbbing thing sprouting between her thighs, alien and heavy, and when it twitches she screams. Mary bursts in, sees the growth, and the color drains right out of her face. She drags Annie straight to urgent care, babbling to Dr. Hunt about “an emergency” while Annie’s legs shake. The doctor’s eyebrows climb as she studies the swollen, shifting mass; she can hear the fluid sloshing inside it. “Pressure’s building fast,” Hunt mutters, snapping on gloves. “We drain it now or this gets messy.” The room smells like antiseptic and shame, and nobody’s sure which will break first—the growth or Mary’s rules.
