if i was dating you i would sleep at your place a lot. while you were asleep i would slide out of bed and sneak into the bathroom to retrieve your nail clippers. i'd snip your toenails and hide the clippings under my tongue until i left the next morning. when i got home i'd deposit the clippings under a loose floorboard in my apartment. you'd never suspect a thing. as the years turn into months you'd fall in love with my charming naiveté and gentle manner. you'd ask me to marry you. you'd stand

at the altar, your eyes brimming with tears as i walk through the doors of the church. as i approach you notice my dress and jewelry glisten not with pearls or beads, but with what appears to be organic matter. nail clippings. your nail clippings. you stand your mouth agape with horror as the ceremony proceeds. you can’t back out now. your fate is sealed.
