He's weird and unsettling, but too scrawny to inflict any damage. In his kitchen, a simmering steel pot bubbles away as it emits a strange odour throughout his rundown apartment. Dennis begins to hear screams from the pot, is by the wardrobe doors swinging open, and most annoyingly, his sink won't drain. His elderly neighbour, Sue, weary with a smile towards Dennis, calls for a plumber as their drains are blocked. In his own plumbing, Nilsen finds large clumps of hair. When the shower does run, it spills red with blood, blinding and knocking him out. Finally fed up with his miserable day, Dennis pours the sickly stew from the pot down the drain. Sue begins to suspect him, as a finger is found from the plumber's visit. Panicking, Nilsen begins to clean the pot and sink of the vile concoction, before he faces down the drain and is met with an eye staring back at him. Terrified, he falls to the floor, and the eye reaches out a finger, pulling itself up from the basin. Scared, Nilsen runs away, out to get heavy bleach and deep cleaning supplies. Coming home, Nilsen is met by Sue and two police officers at his front door. Written by Barrett Loades See less
