Tales from the Crypt

Reflection of Death.

Ian was finally going to leave his wife to be with his lover as he is driving down a winding county lane when suddenly out of nowhere a deer leaps over a hedge into the road.

Ian quickly puts on his breaks to avoid the deer this causes his car to crash into a nearby oak tree.

Sometime passes and Ian stumbles out of the wreckage,battered and bruised and his head hurting he walks down the road until luck for him he finds a red telephone box,he opens its doors and then searches for some loose change to make a call but finds none he then goes to make a call to the operator at first the numbers look odd but this does not bother him as he knows the operator number well.

The operator asks him for a phone number he gives his home number,it rings a strange man answers the phone this throws Ian off as it not anyone he knows ,was his wife seeing someone behind his back like he was.

Having no joy with the phone call he walks unsteady down the road until he reaches its junction And then waits at the junction in hope of a car coming along to hitch a ride.

After what seems ages a car comes along but it’s driving on the left ,yet again he puts this down to his recent accident .

He gets into the car and gets a lift to the nearest town which just happens to be where his lover works in an estate office.

Ian enters the estate agents to find Shella working as the manager,when did she get her promotion she was just a normal employee last time he saw her which was only last week.

As Ian approached Shella she just have him a blank state and then went into estate agent patter asking him what can of house and area was he looking for.

Ian let out a smirking laugh,and told Shells to stop being silly and can be have the keys to her flat as his head was really hurting and he needed some rest,at this point Shells let out a scream of help to her fellow worker s.

A couple of the male staff came to her aid,she demanded that Ian be escorted out of the building as she had no clue who he was.

Ian was completely stunned by this revelation,and keep calling out her name as he was escorted out of the estate agents,he was told by the two make staff if he came back again the police would be called.

Ian then wondered around the town wondering what was going on,it has to be a side effect of his bump in the head it was the only explanation he could think of,so he checked his pockets of his wallet,yes he had some cash to get a taxi driver back to his wife,as at least he could go and sleep on a nice warm bed.

Ian walks up to his home s front door but it’s locked,he gets the key on his keyhole but it does not fit so out of frustration he presses his finger on the doorbell until he gets an answer.

Finally the door opens,with the security chain on so he unable to gain access so he then calls out to his wife Enid to let him.

Enid in turn says who are you,Ian replies for her to stop playing at being silly and let him on as he is her husband,Enid laughs and then shouts upstairs at another man called Ian.

The other Ian appears and he looks almost like Ian apart from having a beard and close cut hair and his voice when he spoke was just that big deeper,Ian steps back and is in complete shock,then his head really hurts he feels very dizzy and faints.

When Ian awakes he is back in his car just before the accident,he looks around And again something is a bit off with the writing inside the cars dashboard,it finally clicks it’s all a mirror image of the words.

Ian quickly puts on his breaks to avoid the deer this causes his car to crash into a nearby oak tree.
