Controller

In Jesse Kellerman's chilling tale "Controller," a psychologically intense battle unfolds between a mother and son as they clash over the thermostat during an unseasonably hot winter. Raymond’s bedridden mother relishes the warmth, but her demand for heat forces him into a suffocating struggle as each day becomes a challenge of control. Part of the anthology "Warmer," this gripping narrative explores the thin line between familial obligation and personal desperation.
