Herman has spent every morning beneath Gracelyn’s hands. Her touch. Her attention. Her heat. He thought it meant something. Until she forced something inside him that didn’t fit, left him burning, and blamed him for the mess she made. Gracelyn has already forgotten. Herman hasn’t. And he’s about to teach her what happens when you leave something burning for too long. This is an Extreme Body Horror short told from the POV of a sentient toaster with an unhealthy obsession, a taste for revenge, and absolutely no concept of forgiveness. This is not a romance. It is, however, a love story according to Herman.
