Great Sin, by Ginnie Nham

The rain poured onto the window two by two, and three by three. Akito was busily playing games on his phone in his living room, pretty normal, right? Suddenly, an amber alert popped up on the old, rusty TV. “A mimic has been lurking around people and tricking them into their homes. Please stay alert and lock your doors and windows"

Akito immediately enters into fear. “Knock, knock”. He hears someone knocking on the door, he predicts it is Ena, his sister, back from the art shop.

“Akito!! I came back from buying art supplies, can you let me in?” Ena queried.

“Ena? Your voice sounds quite weird. Are you sure you want me to let you in?” Akito replied. There was no response. He knew it. He immediately dashed into Ena’s room and hid in her closet. He observed the interior until he found a flashlight.

Ena barged into the house and started searching for Akito. Until she went into her own room. She knew Akito was in the closet like some cartoon character would hide in. Ena swiftly opened the closet, ready to attack. That is when Akito shone the flashlight towards Ena. She crumbled from head to toe, until she became nothing but dust.

“ Oh it's over... I'll search for Ena...” Akito felt a sigh of relief.

But he felt angst towards Ena. He quietly exited his house just to see Ena, his real sister; dead - laying on the ground, with a bloody wound on her belly and blood smeared across her body.

“ Ena... live with love...” Akito whispered.

Three more mimics lay in wait…
