\"Dude,<\/a>

Dude, It’s Mother’s Day by Kris P. Kreme<\/p><\/div>\n

He first appeared as a mysterious handyman, hulking muscular blonde surfer guy… the Dude, a man who renovated minds and bodies on enjoyable whims, especially wealthy entitled jerks. He has done so many times, but this may be the one time his motives aren’t for his own pleasure.<\/p>\n

When the Dude returns home to see his dear sweet mother, he witnesses a threatening exchange with a corrupt political asshole that has his mother upset.<\/p>\n

Will the Dude put his own corruption of minds and bodies to the test, getting an evil man to return deeds to his mother’s and other’s homes, all while giving the ultimate Mother’s Day gift? You can BET he will because Dude, it’s Mother’s Day!<\/p>\n

When you’re a wealthy family with needs for home improvement, you can just BET there is a certain Dude up to the job. But as those wealthy families too often find out, the hulking muscular surfer looking handyman who goes by the name Dude is always going to serve up some special improvements their entitled manipulative minds never saw coming.<\/p>\n

But this may be the one time the Dude drives his old truck into a neighborhood where a chaos not of his own making is taking place. That’s because the neighborhood he has come to for this special day, happens to be the neighborhood he grew up in many many years ago… and the home he parks outside is that of his dear sweet mother’s.<\/p>\n

Dude, it’s Mother’s Day, and to his mother, Wally Talbert Freemont has always been a man who takes good care of her. But as he witnesses a rather intense exchange she has with an evil local politician and city planner named Ryder Langley, this may just be the one time his mother isn’t counting on her own Dude to be able to save her from losing her home.<\/p>\n

Chiseled jaw, cocky expression, perverse ways of just betting others into twisted alternate lives… all of it fades in the face of his mother’s sadness at the prospect of being tricked as all her neighbors were. And what could be a better Mother’s Day gift than to set things right for all of them?<\/p>\n

Ryder Langley is a snake of a man, one who came from a background in realty and rose to power through the City Council, essentially seizing power and manipulating his way in the aims of building high-end condos on land he used city influence to steal from people like the Dude’s mother and her neighbors. Through trickery and his own brand of manipulation, he had them sign papers essentially the deeds to their land that he now intends to bulldoze and clear for his own evil benefits.<\/p>\n

But two can play the manipulation game, and the Dude is not to be trifled with. No one messes with his mother, and that has the Dude off in search of Ryder Langley’s home address. Naturally after a somewhat enjoyable time with a local policewoman, it’s easy enough to run the tag he saw parked when Ryder confronted his mother, easy enough to track down where Langley lives. And it is upon confronting the man at his own door, the Dude sees an opening… or several he can exploit.<\/p>\n

Ryder Langley is a family man, as bad as he is, and his beautiful Latina wife Carmen happens to be there as the Dude hammers angrily on the door. Upon seeing her, the Dude has more in mind than merely getting him to sign back the deeds and undo what he has done.<\/p>\n

As corrupt as Ryder is, will seeing his sweet wife fall victim to the BETter Dude’s whims, openly going door to door in his own expensive neighborhood to willingly whore herself out make him change his ways? And if not… what about when their sweet coed daughter Bella shows up to try and help stop her mother only to soon find herself competing on another side of the street, the pair truly giving away their bodies to anyone willing to take a turn?<\/p>\n

For this man who took everything for his own gains, he may just end up with nothing, because Dude, It’s Mother’s Day!<\/p>\n
