'Part 2: It's Spreading' sneak peekA Chapter by Sarah J Dhuethe sneak peek for Part2 of Demented
The young guard shined the light around the bathroom. His name tag read ‘A. Rousseau.’ He was scared he might actually find what he
was looking for; William Redmoor. The
man that had killed his wife and daughter.
Yes, he’d heard the story. He
faced all the stalls, “Anyone in here?”
He heard nothing but the echo of his own voice.
He heard something move and jumped at his own reflection. But there was something else in the
mirror. A tall, dark figure. Although dressed from head to toe in black,
Rousseau recognized the man’s stature as Dr. Richardson’s.
“Oh, Doctor-” he turned and froze when there was no one behind
him. He turned back to the mirror and
saw only himself, “Dr. Richardson?”
He turned to his right as he heard someone begin to cry in the
far stall. He approached the door
slowly.
“Hello? It-it’s
alright. I’m not going to hurt you. I want to help,” he opened the door. At first, darkness. Then a face emerged, with sickly wrinkled
skin, white wisps of hair, and small eyes, “Come on, get up-” Rousseau extended
his hand. The face stopped crying all at
once and became angry. It cried out in
rage and spit in his face.
“Wait, no, ah, what the hell!?” Rousseau couldn’t see, black
ink-like substance had splashed into his eyes.
He began to curse in French, trying to clean out his eyes and taking
steps backwards. Finally he opened his
eyes.
He looked into the eyes of a new face, large yellow ones with a
single black slash for a pupil. The skin
was mauve and almost scaly. The hair was
wild and dark. Rousseau reached out in
front of him to grab the face’s arm. But
there was no arm. He put both hands in
front of him. Not only was there no arm, there was no body. He felt a warm wetness spreading across his
pants and sweat running down his face, gathering around his lips. The face let out a scream, blood curdling and
Rousseau cried out as white sharp teeth and a dark spear-like tongue flew at
his face.
