And then the scuttering came again. It was outside. It was coming down the corridor. Terrified, he ran to the door and slammed it shut, but it grew louder, and louder. He whimpered, backing against the wall. And now the scratches started, scraping against the door, scrabbling along the edges, trying to find a way in.

No... please... leave me alone...

The colours were bleeding out of the room, leaving it as smoke-blackened and ruined as the others. He sank down, hugging his knees to his chest, trying not to scream as the door started to open slowly and they emerged - the hands, so many of them, and they were HUMAN, that was the worst thing, they were human hands scratching at the wood, reaching out for him.

He screamed in terror and as if that were a signal, a voice said, Enough.The hands stopped moving. The door swung wider and he saw her standing there. She was tall and beautiful, and she was terrible in her beauty, red hair slithering across the floor and over the ceiling, eyes purple with lust and fury, her skin too white to be ( ... )

Oh.... This theme did fit Takehiko perfectly. Wonderful climax where the darkness reveals itself showing that he is his own worst enemy. The ending was perfect as well - you really showed how he has seperated himself from the alter ego (even if they are one and the same).

Definitely award worthy even if it is past the deadline. :)

Ain't that the truth. I'm glad the climax worked, I didn't really revise this much, I just poured it all out.

The ending was perfect as well - you really showed how he has seperated himself from the alter ego (even if they are one and the same).

What he says in the dream is true: he can't even bear to think that part of him wants to be with her, he doesn't want that to happen ever again. If he could, he'd destroy that part of him.
