[LC] My Take On Melting Love's Story

[LC] My take on Melting Love's story

It was a beautiful spring morning. The sun shined on a young couple's home. The house was only inhabited by the wife and husband, their cat and soon it would also shelter a little boy as the woman was 8 months pregnant. The lovers were in bed, as they had just awaken. The woman noticed the absense of their pet and that preoccupied her. The cat would normally sleep on her feet but lately it has been away from home, only returning when it has to eat, usually while one of them is preparing lunch so it can get food scraps if it's lucky. The man would soothe his distressed wife by telling her that those are normal cat behaviors and that she shouldn't worry too much, but she couldn't stop feeling corcened about it. She knew the cat better than anyone else, she knew it was very caring and it loved her a lot, it couldn't just decide it didn't need her anymore and run away. Maybe it was in season, maybe she's just giving too much importance to the situation. Her husband says that he read somewhere something along the lines of pregnant women being very sensitive and moody because of their hormones. Still, she wasn't satisfied. She decided that when the cat comes to eat she would follow it to see where it goes when it's absent. The cat came and ate and then it left, as expected, and the woman followed from afar. The cat left the house through the backdoor, it crossed the backyard and then entered some bushes. The lady pondered for a few seconds if she should continue, since she would have to bent, and that's not very easy for someone almost over with their pregnancy. She chose to continue, little did she know what she was about to find, and probably nobody else knew what it was either. She found a pinkish bush with little pink flowers who seem to be covered in a weird nectar. Her cat was laying in the shadow of the bush and seemed to be completely relaxed, it looked like a newborn in their mother's arms unaware of the dangers of the world. There was a weird aura in the air, but not a hazardous one. In fact, the lady felt safe and relaxed, like she could stay there forever. She laid on top of the flowers and stayed there for the rest of the day. When she felt like coming back home, she picked some flowers. She had to show them to her husband, surely he and their child would love them as much as she does. She then returned home but the husband didn't recognise her. Her body was gone and replaced by a replica made of the flowers' nectar, constantly drooling on the ground. Needless to say, the man was terrified, he had no idea of what he was looking at. It kind of resembled his darling wife but what could have happened to her? He thought it was weird that she just disappeared without an explanation for a whole day, but he never thought that she could possibly come back as a monster. His brain told him that it wasn't possible but his heart knew it was her. He felt so scared yet so peaceful at the same time. "Come here, darling. Hug me." said the woman who had turnt into a monster, to wich the man obeyed blindly. "I think it's time. I think the baby is coming." A blob of slime came out of the woman. "Isn't he beautiful? I'm sure he will bring so much love and joy to this world!" "Indeed." replied the man who wasn't scared anymore, slowly melting in "love".
