There is a video on YouTube that Honey watches every night called Mommy Cleans Your Ears RP.

The video advertises itself as a comforting sleep aid.

The soft sounds and gentle whispers are supposed to lull you into rest without reminding you that you are watching a woman pretend she is your mommy through the vortex of the internet.

People in the comment section say this video has saved their lives on their darkest days.

Honey cannot help imagining herself as a little boy watching the video. She does not think the concept works if she is not a little boy.

Honey is a 22 year old woman. As she watches the video, she sits in her bedroom with fairy lights that she never turns off.

When mommy asks what pajamas Honey wants, she always picks the green and blue dinosaur ones. She gets frustrated when mommy chooses the pink bunny nightgown for her instead.

Honey sometimes masturbates to the video even though she knows she is not supposed to.

Sometimes she thinks she is supposed to but mommy would never admit it.

Honey’s real mommy works the night shift at a museum. Honey’s daddy teaches eighth grade Algebra and sometimes freshman geometry.

Honey types in the comment section.

She looks at the comment and leaves it there. Three people heart her comment.

Mommy is cleaning her ears now with Q-tips and cotton balls. Honey watches from the minimized picture-in-picture box as she scrolls through recommended videos.

Suddenly a pop-up appears on Honey’s aging 2020 era Macbook.

ʏᴏᴜ’ᴠᴇ ʙᴇᴇɴ ᴘʜɪꜱʜᴇᴅ! ᴄʟɪᴄᴋ ʜᴇʀᴇ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴠᴇʀꜱᴇ ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴀᴍᴀɢᴇ!
ᴄʟɪᴄᴋ! ᴄʟɪᴄᴋ! ᴄʟɪᴄᴋ! ᴄʟɪᴄᴋ! ᴄʟɪᴄᴋ!

Honey clicks because what else is she supposed to do.

There is bukkake on her screen.

Honey closes her laptop and after a few minutes of tossing and turning, she drifts off to sleep. Honey dreams about being forced to wear a pink bunny nightgown. 

Honey’s laptop slides off her bed as she shifts in her sheets, resisting mommy pulling the nightgown over her head. The laptop hits her surge protector knocking the fairy lights’ plug out of an outlet.

Everything goes dark.

Honey’s room goes up in flames.
