I pull up sharp before I ram it.Reach out and feel it.I hide behind the headboard and look back.
Needing to know what's happening.
The spotlight pops on, then off.
The dude is pointing my gun at the door.
The music blasts us.It's deafening!
Alice Cooper's "Welcome To My Nightmare!"
The spotlight illuminates the door.
The sight scares the shit out of even me.
The Bastard Son of Thor!
Maximus Aurelius Moore!
Butt ass naked!
With a big ass knife in his hand.
But the scary shit?
Is his face.
The intensity of his eyes!
His evil, sick, menacing grin!
That is the face of a killer!
The blood drains from my face.
My hand's tingle.
The lights go off.
The music cranks up!
It's deafening.
Fire erupts!
A gunshot!
I drop to my knees, sprawl on the floor, and pray to the only God I know."Sweet Zeus!Father of the Gods!Protect The Bastard Son."

Aurei

The fucking motherfucker!
My blood runs cold, listening to him talk to Siri.It's all I can do to wait for her to get here.Standing in the media room with Brutus, I pace.
