The Beloved

You've seen her before. Perhaps somebody you know is dating her, getting himself into debt by taking her out to fancy restaurants and buying her expensive gifts. Yet you see her for what she really is.

Or maybe he's the guy who has perfectly good excuses for not finding a job, so he lets his live-in girlfriend support them. She works long hours to keep a roof over their head, the bills paid, and food on the table, sometimes working two jobs. In the meantime, she's running herself ragged emotionally and financially.

Yet she won't leave her boyfriend. And the guy will not dump his girlfriend. Both will claim they are in love despite the problems and the havoc their lovers are causing.

Of course you know people like this. Everybody knows at least one.

They're not who you think they are.

They are charismatic, sexually attractive, and they'll completely drain you emotionally, financially, and physically.

And then they'll move on to the next person.

Don't let that next person be you. They're not human. They're something else…something too terrifying to imagine.
