THE BORROWED BODY

taken from

TALES FROM THE CRYPT #26

tord was sitting in his office, waiting for Patryk to arrive, as he was waiting he threw darts at a board that had Toms face on it.

As he threw a dart the door opened, the dart flew over Patryk's head and and hit Paul in his Head "You called me sir."

Yes, I have an assignment for you"

"I'm not going to kill Tom just so you can keep Rylie for yourself."

"Look I'll make it worth your while, maybe a promotion to general."

This intrigued Patryk, "so what do I have to do."

Tord showed him pictures of Tom "every weekend he goes to this place called 'cheers', if you kill him, you get promoted, but if you fail, I'll do it myself and you don't get promoted."

reluctantly, Patryk agreed, and so, while Tom was walking home from 'cheers', Patryk jumped at him but missed and Tom ran for his life, Patryk followed him, but a when they ran past a crosswalk, a drunk driver came out of nowhere and hit Patryk. Tom continued to run home and ran to his room. In the middle of the night, Tom heard a noise in his room and sat up in his bed "who's there"

"Don't be scared tom, it's me Tord"

Before he could react, a poker struck him hard in head, before dying he heard "Now Rylie will be mine."

*in the afterlife*

Tom was walking to some doors, when he noticed Patryk, "hey, weren't you the guy that chased me"

"Yeah."

Tom just said "okay." And he curiously walked through a door.

*somewhere in heaven*

"Hey Terry, did you put the signs on the soul doors"

"Oh shoot I forgot, oh well it's not like anyone is gonna use them" little did Terry know.

*at a hospital*

A nurse walked into a room carrying embalming fluid, when she heard a loan come from inside the room. "Who's there?" She shouted.

To her horror the body on the table started to move, and it asked "Where am I?"

The nurse ran out of the room shouting "ZOMBIE!", Patryk was confused, until he saw a reflective tabletop, and saw Patryk's face, "Oh man I'm in the wrong body, oh well since I'm here."

"I'm telling you doctor, he's alive."

"Look, it is rare for someone to survive getting hit by a car, but it's impossible for someone to return from the dead." When they entered the room , they saw that the body was gone.

meanwhile Tord was stuffing some clothes into his suitcase, until he heard a knock on the door. He opened it and saw... "Patryk!"

"You're wrong Tord, it's tom. "

"Patryk are you okay"

"I'm not Patryk, i'm tom. "

"You're joking right?"

"Were you joking when you hit me with the poker."

"Wait, how did you-"

"Was it this poker you used?" Patryk/Tom showed a poker, and Tord finally realized what was happening, "no, no it can't be!"

"finally convinced are you!"

Terrified, Tord shot at the figure, but it had no effect. Desperate, he ran towards his bathroom and locked the door, but Patryk/Tom somehow punched through the door, and grabbed Tord by his hood, dragging him through the wall, and when he was halfway through, he screamed as a poker came down.

Vlad and another officer, came to Tords place in response to the commotion and screaming, and found him still stuck in the wall with a terrified expression stuck on his face, while Patryk held the poker, while smiling with satisfaction.

We'ok tord got the shock of his life didn't he. Now it's time for our final nightmare.
