The New Mother
186
56You have been terribly naughty, so bad that you’ve driven your own mother out of the house, never to return. In her place is a new mother with glass eyes and a wooden tail. You cannot reason with her, you cannot manipulate her emotions, you cannot bribe or negotiate with her, you cannot threaten her. She is merciless—she will give you exactly what you deserve, and no better. And you cannot escape her—unless you leave your own home and live in the woods, and never come back.
