That's all." - Lemmy Kilminster, _Motorhead_ Author's notes: I once read a horror story that consisted entirely of one or two word sentences. It has always stuck in my mind, and as a last minute idea for a Hallowe'en fanfic this year, I felt this story worth writing. I won't give anything away about what happened in the story, but even without a Japanese/English dictionary, you should be able to figure it out for yourself. Well...one giveaway. 'musukosan' means son 'musuko' means penis 'sans' means without (in French) and 'musume' means daughter or vagina ...and can include the derogatory meaning 'cunt' To say any more would give away too much. Comments and...you know the rest. ^_^ Shunsuke October 31, 1997 4:22AM PST
