Devoured

She had named my mother, the name I dislike most in the world I had heard again, surprised I take a seat again as I try to question the old woman.

"How do you know my mother's name?"

"You should know by now, by the way, son that girl is very attached to you, you should be cautious."

I was trying to change the subject, but I don't plan to leave it like that, if there is something I thank God for is that he took that wretched woman away from me, at this moment my ex-partner didn't matter to me, what I wanted was to know if what is attached to me has something to do with that despicable woman.

"So this has something to do with that woman, right?"

"If you're talking about your mother in some part yes, but there's also some responsibility on your part."

"What are you talking about?"

"This wouldn't be so difficult if it were only your mother's fault, you should just cut ties from the beech tree, but apparently what's attached to you is struggling not to detach, which seems strange."

"Can you tell me at once what it is that I have behind my back?"

"Okay, to the customer whatever he asks for."

He stood up from his seat and then took a mirror from a drawer, he blew on it in a soft and delicate way, looked at me and then put it in front of me, which I regret having asked him, because before the mirror's reflection I saw how the figure of my deformed mother tried to eat my right ear, she was clinging to me like a disgusting bug, she was trying to devour me even though I was dead.
