THE BAD MOTHER
EPISODE 2
Written by remi the writer
The children knew that their mother would get angry if they didn’t listen to her. Within minutes, they were waiting outside, armed with flashlights, bags and axes…..
Once they had reached the middle of the forest, Rose took her son Francis aside.
“Francis, you come with me”, she said. “The rest of you cockroaches, look around for wood.”
Without another word, Francis grabbed his bag and followed his mother. When they were out of sight of the other children,
