Twin

A team of operatives walk from egress as she passes, their boots heavy on the metal grating. Two stumble, and the stark overhead lights reveal a faint sheen here and there on dark clothing. She sniffs and recognizes blood; saliva bursts beneath her tongue.

The operatives give her a wide berth, eyes wary. They have words for her and her partner when they think the walls won't hear. Words like: freak, vampire, monster.

In the white room chair, they always lose those words to terror. She gives them new words with which to plead.

She takes pride in her work.
