- He
- stood
- in
- the
- doorway
- to
- the
- kitchen,
- his
- arms
- above
- his
- head,
- his
- long,
- bony
- fingers
- curled
- like
- claws.
- His
- teeth
- were
- bared
- in
- a
- horrible
- fixed
- grin,
- his
- eyes
- stared
- unblinkingly.
- Two
- thin
- wires
- suspended
- each
- of
- his
- thumbs
- to
- a
- corner
- of
- the
- door
- frame
- …
- mute
- evidence
- that
- his
- death
- had
- neither
- been
- quick
- or merciful.
