Dead Ringers 1: Illusion
“Hunter is hooked up to an IV. He’s pale, gaunt and as still as death.
A murmur travels through the crowd like a shiver. The revolving light on top of the ambulance sweeps over the boardwalk. Most everybody is a teenager. The Drama Queen Twins, our nickname for two former cheerleaders who make everything about them, cling to each other and sob. Maia is at the entrance to the arcade with some other employees, talking among themselves. Becky stands off by herself, shaking like a leaf caught in... a sandstorm.

The ambulance siren pierces the night, sending a fresh stab of fear for Hunter through me.MoreLess
