The Depths of Human Depravity
In a decrepit apartment where filth reigns supreme, Steven lives under the tyrannical rule of the woman he calls "the Hagbeast" - his mother. Their shared living space is a prison of degradation, where toxic meals are forced down his throat and psychological warfare is the daily norm. His only companion is Dog, a crippled animal whose back legs were smashed by his mother with a brick in an act of senseless cruelty. The television serves as Steven's only window to normalcy, showing glimpses of lives so perfect they only intensify his suffering by comparison. His rare moments of respite come during hot showers when he can briefly imagine having "love, a ranch, a horse, a wife who tenderly strokes his cheek" - fantasies that evaporate the moment the water stops running. Every attempt at resistance is crushed beneath his mother's fury, forcing him back into submission as he fills his mouth with rancid food, knowing that "food like this kills people" yet powerless to refuse.
