From my [still pending] Halloween story, Shining Valley High. It’s at the end…
—
We traversed more corridors and turned more corners, always right-hand ones. It soon became evident that we were spiraling inward. As we approached a dark doorway with twin pillars, each wrapped in stone serpents, the flickering of flames illuminated the walls, and a slithering noise echoed toward us.
“Sounds like a big chamber ahead,” said Lily. “And filled with something nasty, no doubt.”
I scented the air, “Basilisks… why did it have to be basilisks?” I sighed.
“I think we’ve had more than enough of that particular phraseology for one day,” said Lily. “Anyway, demon snakes? I thought they were a story made up to scare children.“
“There are more things in Heaven and Hell than dreamed of in your philosophy, Fellatio,” I replied, with a grin.
Lily rolled her eyes. “Being a demon gets you a pass sometimes, but that was truly awful. Back to the mission; I guess it’s zapping time?”
“Yeah,” I replied, “and remember, whatever you do, never cross the streams.”
“You said that was for water-sports,” said Lily, confusion in her voice.
“That too,” I clarified. “Shall we…?”
We burst into the cavernous room, a female Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid; if Sundance had been topless and with nipples standing to attention in the cold air, that is.
