House of Sighs
This was what made that teetering control tip, sliding them into the murky waters where The Beast waited, where it eagerly grinned, a thing that was only too happy to rise to the occasion and fulfill its purpose in the world.
Come into my house, the driver said. Be yourself here.
Jack said yes and became The Beast. Now, as it scanned the trees, eyes black as a shark’s, it invited Michael also. And even though he didn’t want to go there, he could feel his teetering control giving way. Sliding, sliding, sliding towards the door as it creaked open, sighs escaping.
Could Michael hurt this thing to save himself?
Yes.
Yes, he could.
