Milkboy

Milkboy
Written an Narrated by:

Milkboy is based on a true story…

When two friends use a bulletin board system to create an online persona to tease their best friend, they get more than they have coming to them for their deception.

Content Advisory: Milkboy deals with emotional manipulation, stressful working conditions, infected food, passing mention of a grizzly death, demonic possession, and cartoonish violence. And, of course, there’s plenty of swearing. (A bit more than usual, in fact.)

Also, if you’re driving: be aware that anytime you hear characters in a vehicle after the mention of Yummy’s Greek Restaurant in Denton, Texas…there will be yelling, squealing tires, and even a collision. Really, from that point on…just expect the story to get louder and more ridiculous with each new paragraph.

    I started to panic during the Demon Milkboy’s fiery occupation of the apartment, but when you hugged Demon Milkboy, I was brought back to reality. Like, who hugs a demon?! I could tell that was the point when the “true story” transitioned to “fiction story.”

    Oof, that singing, though. But still better than mine.

    And those belches, though. Again, better than mine. 🙂

      Hey! That demon was real! 😉

      (Okay, so only real in spirit…)

      I will laugh every time I hear it singing to Tim…

      As always, thanks for listening! I had soooooooooooo much fun with this one.
