At the word; Georges eyes snapped open。 They were silver; not human eyes at
all。 Georges hands; fish…white; found the sides of the tub and he pulled
himself up to a sitting position。 The knife stuck straight out from his chest;
equidistantly placed between nipples。 The wound was lipless。
〃You set the timer ahead;〃 silver…eyed George told him。
〃No; George; I didnt。 I — 〃
〃I dont stutter。〃
George was standing now; still fixing him with that inhuman silver glare; but
his mouth had drawn back in a dead and grimacing smile。 He threw one leg over
the porcelained side of the tub。 One white and wrinkled foot placed itself on
