Flash 34: At the Other Side
Specially dedicated to Michael Collins Ajereh

Nkem's ambition was to become a serial killer. It was a strange ambition, one that was unsuitable for public confession; but Nkem appreciated the uniqueness of this ambition - and he planned to do something about it. He had always been fascinated by the idea of death. Of course, the possibility of other people dying thrilled him, as opposed to the possible significant end of his own life.

His first victim was a woman. Nkem was a good-looking and attractive young man, and he had successfully used his charms to lure the poor woman to a dark and lonely corner where he stabbed her multiple times. Then he had dragged her corpse to the unmarked grave he had prepared for her beforehand - this was the start of a promising career as a serial killer. He cleaned up the blood-soaked knife on his victim's lifeless body before returning it to the pocket of the dark-blue denim he donned.

Then just as he was about to push the corpse into the ditch, he looked across the short fence to the other side and saw something that further threatened his already faulty sanity. At the other side of the fence was exactly the same environment as where he stood. There was the same secluded area, the same ditch, and the same weed grew on the ground. It was like the world split into two similar parts, the fence only serving as a dividing portal.

This might not have bothered Nkem so much if the supernatural manifestation had ended there, but something more sinister sufficed - which pleasantly made the self-proclaimed serialist go batshit crazy, and, of course, ushered in his eventual apprehension, and ultimate doom.

At the other side was a familiar person trying to bury a corpse, just like Nkem was. And there was a significant level of similarities between what was going on at that other side and what Nkem was trying to do. Like Nkem, the other figure was trying to push a victim into a ditch, too. Nkem watched as the killer cleaned his knife on his victim's body - just like he had done. In addition, the killer on that side bore a close resemblance with the woman Nkem was trying to bury over here - but the only difference was that the killer was clearly a male; a male who carried the face of the woman Nkem was about to bury.

What finally stole the remaining little sanity left of Nkem was when he looked down at the victim the stranger was trying to bury and saw his own face - but the only difference was that the victim was clearly a female; a female who carried the face of Nkem, the serial killer. The killer looked across at Nkem and gave a dark smile.

Nkem was still screaming when people gathered around and discovered what he had done, but none of the crowd saw the fence, or what was happening at the other side.
