The last interlude

In a vast, empty, darkness, floated Taylor, dressed in baggy hoody and jeans covered in rotting filthy blood. She floated there for hours, days, years passed in the span of mere moments only to continue, and then the silence was shattered by a whistle.

'well... Hello nurse!'

And there, right next to other as thought she had always been there, backstroking through the nothingness was another taylor, clad in a purple tee-shirt and jeans, barefoot. She swam gentle circles around Taylor with a large grin on her teeth.

Taylor sleepily looked up at her, the crackle of the dried blood flaking off her skin and clothes.

"Why... Why am I here?"

The others wide grin grew large, large and sharp, teeth growing out with an audible slice of something sharp through bone and flesh.

"Why, your going mad of course!"

And then disappeared.

For a moment then reappeared over Taylors left shoulder.

'you're going mad, oh so crazy, go mad, completely zaney!'

With each verse the taylor disappeared from and the reappeared in another, separate position.

'When every headline screams, rape, murder and despair, and life is vile'

'Theres a certain thing I do, which I shall pass along to you...'

'Always guaranteed to make you smile...'

The other popped out directly in front of Taylors face, her features had been gradually mutating until now, the Others face had become sharp edged and angular, sharp teeth continuing to grow out of her cheeks as her lips ripped open in a wide, bloodless grin.

' I go Loooony! As a light bulb battered bug!'

'simply loony, sometime foam and the chew the rug!'

'mister life is swell in a padded cell, itll chase those blues awayyyyy'

'you can trade that gloom for a rubber room, and injections twice a day'

'just go loony like an acid casualty, or a mooney or a preacher on tv.'

The Other Taylor paused just long enough to giggle briefly, her musculature beginning to shift and pulse as shapes twisted beneath skin darkening to a rich purple.

'When the human race... Wears an anxious face, when the bomb hangs over head.'

'When your kid turns Blue!'

'It won't worry You! You can smile and nod instead. When your looney, then you just don't give a fig!'

The Other taylor popped up again, either tiny, or so far away that she was merely a speck, and yet her voice was in Taylors ear, and her breath, hot against the back of Taylors kneck.'

'man so puuunnnnnyyy, and the universe so big!'

'if you hurt so bad get certified, and if should life treat you baaaaaaad!'

'Dont get even, get MAD'
