I am the eggman

Halloween had brought with it fog, which wasn't strange in and of itself, except for the way it was behaving. Henry didn't think much of it, knowing the island tended to behave in ways that amounted to varying degrees of fucked up, with a side of Jesus-Christ-bananas for good measure. It wasn't until he decided to cut through one instead of ( Read more... )

The cloud's quicker than he is and, this time, he trips as he goes into it. He ends up sprawling on boards. A glance at his hands confirms he's changed again, but he's older this time. He feels awkward and raw-boned. He looks up in time to see Henry grab his head.

"Henry?"

He felt the new presence before he saw him. Henry cringed a little as he straightened, turning towards the voice, and had to do a double take. It was like looking at a teenaged Pete.

But no. This wasn't Pete. Henry would have felt Pete, and Pete was gone. This kid was... "Raylan?" What the fuck?

"Shit, Henry. We're in so much fucking trouble."

He scrambles to his feet, not really dressed for the cold in raggy jeans and a cotton t-shirt, goosebumps already coming up on his arms. There's a baseball bat in his hand. The weight is familiar.

"This...is going to get bad, Henry."

"I had a feeling," Henry said dryly, pushing his glasses up on his nose with the index finger of his three-fingered hand. So this was the island fucking with them, again, and he wasn't actually back in the Jefferson Tract. "You have some idea of what's going on here?" He could still feel Jonesy, and along with him Mr. Gray. They were getting closer.

Sally wasn't precisely the sort of woman who just walked away from a man she was dating (was she dating him?) and so when she saw him, she went towards him and not in the other direction like she might have if it was Jeff. "Henry," she called out, trying to get his attention while she was still approaching.

Then one step inside and she really did wish she hadn't done that. There were mirrors, mirrors everywhere and she looked so old. Old and ugly and segmented.

Henry turned around and there were a shit ton of mirrors in the middle of the woods. This was just getting fuckin weirder by the second. Pete and the Beav were gone, he knew, but he could sense Jonesy nearby, and getting closer.

And then he could sense someone else, someone who shouldn't have been there at all. She was close by, and she was afraid. "Sally?" Henry called out, frowning slightly, and went around the mirrors that were blocking his view to look for her.

"No! Don't come any closer," she barks out, her voice crotchety and reedy, brittle in all the horrible ways that a voice could be and it made her want to cry terribly.

She sounded different, but it was still her, and Henry came around the mirrors, disregarding what she'd said. He wasn't expecting to see an old woman, and was on the verge of asking her if she'd seen Sally, but stopped, head quirking slightly to the side with a look of confusion. This was Sally. She looked much, much older, but it was her. "Sally? Are you all right?"
