“What the fuck, James,” said Shelly. “I told you this isn’t funny!”

“What’s that?” called James.

Shelly ripped the Post-It note off the mirror.

“Mine,” she read out loud. “What the fuck does that even mean, James?”

“Yeah just coming,” called James, from the other side of the mirror.

She fed the fibres into the flyer. She watched it weave its way onto the bobbin. She drove her foot into the pedal, harder, faster. The spinning wheel provided a cool breeze across her legs. This yarn was going to be so special. So golden. She didn’t stop spinning until she tore her scalp clean off her skull.

He woke up with a start. He looked down at the bed sheets. This isn’t where he went to sleep.

He woke up with a start. He ran his hand through the sand beneath him. This isn’t…

The first time his shadow waved to him, he thought it was a trick of the light. When his shadow took a kettle off the stove, he thought he was dreaming. When his shadow cut his wife’s head off, he was proud. When his shadow stabbed the policeman, he was nervous. His shadow now has religious texts and 14 pounds of explosives. He is not sure how he feels about that.

He leaned back against the wall. She had him cornered. He drew his knife and drove it into her stomach. She grinned. He twisted the blade and dragged it upwards. She laughed. Transfixed, he watched her hair turn into roots and her face blossom into a flower. He didn’t notice the creeping ivy piercing his skin until it was ready to pull his kidneys out.

He watched as the shipping container fell 80 feet from the crane and crashed down onto the docks. As he trotted towards the emergency, assessing each safety issue along the way, he wondered what had caused the rocking motion. The air was still, not even a breeze. In fact, now that he thought about it, there weren’t even any gulls around.

He peered into the container. The container peered back.

Malcolm woke up, he could feel sand beneath his fingers. He coughed, violently expelling water from his lungs.

He took a moment to catch his breath. The smell hit him like a train. Rotten fish mixed with the smell of human decay.

A claw reached down and lifted his head. Red eyes staring into his soul.

“You’ll do.”

“Good morning, sunshine,” she said.

He felt the thick rug beneath him and he heard the crackle of the open fire. He also heard his girlfriend crying in another room.

“Now we make sure every woman knows who you belong to,” said his ex-wife, as she began carving her name into his cheek.

He ran the blade across his face. Stubble was always an issue for him. He couldn’t remember ever having an entirely smooth face.

The mist in the mirror began to fade. He reached up and gave it a wipe with a dry towel.

He dropped his razor into the sink. His reflection grinned with a flicker of red in its eye.

Today was the day.
