Looking at his hand. Gritting his teeth.
Feeling the tooth. The tooth he had lost.
The tooth that was now there again.
Lub…

… dub…
Looking at his hand.
The hand he had mutilated himself.
The ring and pinky fingers he had cut off.
Nothing but stubs.
Lub…

The stumps glistened. Not from the swim in the canal.
Coated with yellow. A waxy substance he had seen before.
And small nubs in their centers. Nail-like growths.

Ken’s hand fell to his side.
Did I really hear him? Was Derek’s voice in my head… was it real?
What’s happening to me?
He felt Maggie hold him. His face to the sky.
His mouth fell open. He remembered that was what happened when you Changed.
His heart stopped.
And Ken Strickland died.
