The ending should have a twist... or should it?


Sarah sank into an armchair and let out a satisfied sigh. It was good to be home. As remarkable as it seemed, the house was just as she’d left it, all those weeks ago. Or if there were differences, they were small things – a layer of dust on the furniture, a pile of unopened letters in the hallway, the gentle click of a pistol being cocked. Wait, what?
‘Get down on the floor!’ screamed the masked gunman, kicking open the kitchen door. ‘Face down! Face down!’ Sarah hesitated for a moment.
‘Freddie?’ she said. ‘Freddie, is that you?’ The gunman froze.
‘No,’ he said.
‘What are you doing?’ asked Sarah. ‘I thought we were a team.’
‘We were,’ whispered Freddie. ‘But that was before...’ He reached up to his face and gripped his mask. Sarah braced herself. ‘Before...’ He pulled aside the fabric. Sarah couldn’t look. ‘Before this,’ he said, throwing the mask to the floor. ‘Look at me, Sarah. Look at what you’ve done to me.’ She slowly raised her eyes to his. A second passed. ‘You did this, Sarah,’ he said. ‘You gave me this big smile by being so lovely.’ Sarah grinned back at him.
‘You big silly,’ she said. ‘You had me worried there.’
‘Worried? He laughed. ‘What could there possibly be to worry about? It’s all safe again. We won, Sarah.’
‘I think you mean I won,’ said Sarah, turning into a werewolf which she had been all along and eating him.

  8. Well. The comments on this post are frankly embarrassing. Thank you all for your continued support and encouragement, even when my posting of new entries slows to a crawl.

    And if there are any new readers here (which google analytics guesses there probably are), you’ve got 200 old posts and a 40-minute live show to get through, so what are you waiting for?

  10. "Mr. Stickley, M. Night Shyamalan on line two. He said something about this twist being better than anything he's come up with lately, and he wants you to delete it."

    Seriously, though, I think I may have laughed more at this one than any other. Bravo!

  25. Even though the Caps have struggled for the most part this year, Mike Ribeiro has not. He had another stellar game today. Ubah Password Gmail Two assists doesn't seem like an exceptional stat but those two assists were tremendous passes to Ovechkin for one timer goals. He also created the play in which Troy Brouwer scored on set ups from Ovechkin and Thomas Kundratek.

  26. Its pretty obvious, but, Braden Holtby continues to prove why he is the Caps goalie for the future. His early season struggles seem like ancient history. Even though the Caps were on a two game losing streak and not consistently winning during his last 6 straight starts, he has kept the Caps in games they had no business being in. With today's 21 save performance from Holtbeast, he boosted his season save percentage to .896 and grabbed his 5th win on the season in 11 games started. Login Line Dengan Akun Lama He also added his fourth game of having a save percentage above .900.

  28. I love when actions that take longer than 1 minute are described in one sentence.
    It makes us think it was somehow done super-quickly.
