Just a little one shot I wrote after I watched the movie. It was a bada** movie!
Tom Hanniger awoke from another nightmare of that one Valentine's Day. He rises from his motel bed and walks over to the bathroom sink. Splashing water on his face, Tom tries to rub away the memories that played with his mind. His eyes remained closed as he recalled when Harry Warden, a miner of his father's, tried to kill him. Harry had woke from a coma after being trapped in the mines thanks to Tom's mistake. Whatever happened down there changed Harry into a murderer, killing his fellow miners with his pickax. Tom took in a shaky breath as the image of the gas mask Harry was wearing appeared in his head. For years, Tom tried to run away from that mask, he even left Harmony to escape the mask.
Taking in a deep breath through his nostrils, Tom remembered what happened when he returned to Harmony after ten years of absence. Harry, who was supposedly buried alive in the mines, was back and killing those around him. However, Tom discovered that it wasn't Harry that was killing everyone. In his mind, the criminal was the town sheriff Axel. No matter how much he pleaded Sarah to shoot Axel she didn't. To his surprise, it wasn't Alex at all.
Exhaling shakily out his mouth, Tom opened his eyes slowly to look at himself in the mirror. The person who looked back at Tom wasn't himself. Looking back at Tom was the gas mask Harry had worn when he killed all those people. The mask he couldn't escape. The very mask he himself wore when he killed all those people once he returned to Harmony. Harry had long since died ten years ago but he remained inside Tom. Playing tricks with Tom's mind to believe that he had returned.
Tom stared back at Harry as Harry stared back at him through the mirror. There was no escaping Harry, no escaping the murders, no escaping that damned mask.
Review if you want. Not like it'll disappear if you don't.
