\by{brylcreem}
This is a sequel of sorts to my story in the other thread,
{\bf The creature. From the
sewers}. Enjoy!
\section*{The creature. From the sewers.}
This wasn't going to happen. Again. Gene Beaver pulled off his light
suede jacket and sighed. Then he sighed again. He had started as a
trainee sewer inspector three months ago and immediately heard the
rumors. Rumors of a creature in the sewers.
Three years ago he had been happy. With a kid and another on the
way. Wife at home, making dinner. The whole nine yards. Then he came to
town. The kid. The prodigy they called him. Gene hated him. Hated him
enough to kill him? Perhaps. Or perhaps not. Either way, Gene hated him.
{\bf Dying. Of arsenik!}
Two and half months later, his wife left him. With the kid. The kid from
out of town. Gene hated him, but he couldn't do anything about it.
It was Christmas, but Gene didn't feel jolly. Didn't feel jolly at
all. His wife was gone with the kids, and the kid and Gene was
alone. Alone at Christmas. The worst time of year to be alone. It was
sad. Suddenly, Gene sobbed.
No, this isn't right! He thought. Gene decided to change his life, to
make it better. A new life, in a new town.
Three years later, here he was. In the sewer, with a creature that
didn't show up.
Suddenly, Gene heard a sound. A sound from behind! Suddenly he turned
and came face to face with it! The creature! The rumors were real! The
creature was real!
Gene died quickly. In the sewers.
200 miles away, Louise shuddered in her sleep. The man next to her woke
and looked at her. And smiled!

Whaddaya mean make the cut? The entries shouldn't be whittled down
to a select few to be put into the sequel. Do you think if the
original works of Ben Biddick were placed among others and
critiqued and compared they would have ever been published? Of
course not! To do so to the stories in this thread would be
entirely unfaithful to the whole {\em point} of Horrors, and would
be disrespectful to Ben Biddick. The entries here are unbound
