    Summary

    He recoils in shock and terror when he sees its limbs – twisted and wrong. Its skin is torn open in places and hanging down, he can see the whiteness of bone beneath the torn flesh. A thick spurt of blood wells to the surface and splatters onto the floor between him and the sink.

    The creature snarls and Mike screams.

    It drops to the ground, twisting in mid-air to land on all fours. Its head is twisted in the wrong angle, its spine is sticking out from its back. More blood falls as the flesh is jostled. A thick, rotting smell fills the air.

    Mike keeps screaming.

    The handle jangles again, harsher this time. Will’s voice filters through, he sounds panicked. Mike can’t make out the words over the sounds of his own screams.

    The creature titters, skittering forward, and Mike stumbles back. He hits the door with a loud thud. He’s still screaming.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Literal piece of art! Absolutely fantastic!

    All forms of Horror, super original S5 style fic but literally nothing from canon happens and it's more canon to me than canon could ever be.

    The man deflated. “Merlin.”

    “Merlin, as in, the wizard?”

    “No. Merlin, as in, the bloke who was closing up shop but couldn’t because a royal prat barged in here and tested his remaining patience.”

    “Doesn’t ring a bell.”
