Hands Off My Mother

"Huh?"

Titan blinked, his mind struggling to understand what he meant by that, though a creeping sense of dread had already begun to settle in his gut.

There was something cold and terrifying about the boy in front of him notwithstanding how young he looked.

"Do I have to spell it out for you?"Asher sighed, as if he was exhausted from dealing with an idiot. "Fine, let me show you then."

He then pointed toward Titan's crotch and made a slow slicing motion through the air.

"Off it goes." Asher said casually, like he was discussing trimming weeds in a garden.

It dawned on Titan, the same moment, the air in the room shifted. The kid was dead serious. Titan's face drained of color, his pupils dilated in pure, unfiltered terror. He started shaking his head.

"No. No, no, no," he pleaded, panic setting in. This cannot be. The kid had to be kidding him. This was a prank. A trick. Somebody better tell him this was a joke.
