Entry #4

Twins
by Rus Morgan


Clouds enshroud the moon and I hear the bottom door creep open -- then the liquid motion of something slithering up the stairs.

The top step shimmers. I point my pistol blindly and pump the trigger until the weapon will ejaculate no more.

I shove the great, curved claws off with a shudder. I recoil in horror as the rest of the apparition materializes.

First a loathsome animal--than, as the life seeps out--the angelic face of my twin brother lies before me.

I wonder how long before I begin to turn?
