​One Headlight

One Headlight

As the wind blew down from the side of its rocky landscape down unto the road below its cliff facing wall. A cliff face that overlooked a tunnel on a road in which Anya was currently driving on. Driving down the highway feeling the wind as it blew in through the window blowing through her long dark hair. Finding herself taking a quick glance into the vanity mirror looking deep into her hazel blue eyes.

As she once again looked back to the road ahead of her looking at the face of daunting cliff just ahead of her. As she drove on highway thinking back to a year ago today a day that still lingers with her. A day that will forever be with her on the day that she had lost her twin brother as she looked to his photo that was on her dashboard. Still feeling as if he was still here with her knowing that his life was taken far too soon.

As she drove up along the cliff side that seemed to rise straight up into the clouds above her as they looked down upon her. Anya Taylor being a young 29 year old charismatic woman never wanting to look back but never getting the chance to look forward. But always feeling as if someone was watching her giving her the feeling of someone being there. Even though she knew that no one was there

As she drove on into the tunnel ahead of her with her one car headlight on beaming into the darkness as she drove on. Knowing that another darkness dwelled within her mind with her not knowing what or who would emerge on the other side. For ever since she could remember she and her brother would talk about what their lives would be like if they were born someone else.

With her brother always joking that in another life that he would have become a detective hunting down the bad guy. Making life feel safer for his sister Anya but as life goes sometimes the bad guy is not always who they seem to be

As Anya drove on listening to the radio as it played the song One Headlight’ knowing that she was now her only friend. Driving on into the tunnel thinking to herself

“What if?” What if she was next?”

As she drove on. Not really knowing why she kept thinking that as she drove on into its darkness

While on another highway another her, another Anya was also driving down the same highway as the wind was blowing through her long blonde hair. Driving down the same highway listening to the same song. Only thing was! There was no over hanging cliff with a tunnel underneath it,

Only the same dark tunnel that resided within her mind, as she drove on talking on the phone with her twin brother who would be coming over later. A twin brother who she had not always been closed to but still was looking forward to seeing him later that night. As she drove on with the setting sun in the distance saying to her.

“Come on, drive on, the light is just up ahead for it awaits you”

Later after pulling up into her driveway with her One Headlight still shining as she took a quick look into the mirror. Slowly sliding her hand through her long blonde hair just before getting out of her car.

Making her way towards her house walking by her one head light that was still beaming right at her. Just then as another Anya looked up at the light in the middle of a room a room all too familiar to her. As she sat there looking across the table looking towards a gentleman setting just right across from her.

Giving each other the sense that they knew one another Just as the gentleman looked towards her. With his hat barely just above his eyes as he looked to Anya saying to her

“You know there is just something about a red haired woman looking to what her next move will be”

As Anya just set there dead staring right back at him feeling the tension all over her body as she begin to feel the heat in the room. Looking for what her next move would be as the air thickened around them. With each Knowing that their next move, their next play had to be perfect no second chances. Not on this day, Knowing that the next move could end the other in checkmate just as she looked to the gentleman saying to him

“Oh I know what my next play is, the only question is do you know what my next move will be?”

Just then as the gentleman gave her a smile as the heat in the room was now gleaming from within his eyes. As he looked over to Anya as Anya looked to the television that was playing in the corner of the room. Knowing that from the look of his eyes he was telling Anya that her only move now was now

Just then as Anya jumped up from her setting position on the couch giving a shout as she held her mouth with her hands. As she sat there on the couch now leaning forward towards the tv as the fan above her chilled the room. Where she was watching the movie

The One’

Just before switching the channel as Anya set there now watching a scene from the tv as it played out. A scene showing a gentleman in fifty’s style clothing. Who was now looking towards the television

As the gentleman then looked over towards Anya setting there on her couch as if he was looking right at her. As he then said

“Oh I know my next move the question is? Was that your next move?”

Knowing in a way that Anya had just leaped into another Anya Leaving a now stunned slightly confused Anya. But which Anya was it that she had leaped into as Anya turned off the tv as she then got up from the couch walking into the kitchen. As Anya stood there looking out the window a window showing her reflection looking back at her. As she stood there running her fingers through her long blonde hair.

Looking out the window to a street light that was shining through her window into the kitchen just as Anya looked up from her kitchen table seeing that she had left her one headlight on. As the one headlight was shining right back at her but as she got up.

Making her way towards the door walking by the tv as it was playing now with a different gentleman. saying

“You know, how do we really know what reality we are even living in. I mean how do we know that there isn’t another us somewhere out there”

Just as Anya was now finally coming to the end of the tunnel looking to the setting sun up ahead as she drove on with one headlight. Before finally coming to her destination a hospital that was awaiting her night shift.

A night shift that Anya was in no way looking forward to as she gave one last look into the vanity mirror at this brown haired hazel blue eyed girl. Saying to herself

“There is no way another you is out there”

As she then made way into the hospital Walking down the hall looking up to light above her. Just as Anya was making her way out of her house towards her car looking at her one headlight shining back at her.

Just then as a gentleman stepped out of the shadow stepping in the view of the car headlight as he looked to Anya. Saying to her

“Now about that move, was that really was going to be your next play”

As a now very stunned and confused Anya was now standing there looking to her twin brother who was now standing there right in front of her standing there just in front of the one headlight shining onto him.

Just as Anya was now making her down the hall of the hospital before walking into a room making her way up to the counter. As a security guard named Dave was standing there holding a flashlight shining it on her.

As the Security guard Dave then looked to Anya asking her for her id, as Anya stood there annoyed knowing that he knew who she was. Only that he was playing with her as Anya looked to him saying

“Look! Don’t give me your shit tonight! Now I know that you know who I am”

Just as Anya stood there in her driveway looking to her twin brother standing there just in front of the one headlight looking to her. As Anya ran towards him saying

“Wow for a second there I didn’t seem to know who you were”

As her brother then just looked to her saying to her

“In a way you really don’t know me, but I know you”

Just as Anya’s brother then grabbed her saying

“Hey look it’s your big brother here to give you big ole hug”

Just as Anya’s brother face began to change giving her the sense that something was off about him.

Just as Anya then ran screaming back into the house leaving her brother standing there in her driveway just a laughing away at her. As the security guard Dave was now shouting at Anya as she made her way down the hall. With his flashlight still shining onto her as he shouted

“You know that I know who you are and I m going to be watching you tonight”

As Anya just shrugged him off making her way down the half lit hallway. As Anya was now running through the hallway of her house to a dimming light. Before making her way into a bedroom locking the door behind her not knowing that the gentleman was already in there with her.

Just as Anya was now making up a bed in a room in the hospital as she then heard a voice come from behind her. A voice saying to her

“You know that I am going to be watching you tonight”

And with a quick look around with Anya now giving him a quick stare of not right now letting him know in her way of saying to him

“I’m not really in the mood for this tonight”

Just then as Anya’s brother looked to her saying to her

“Oh but I’m always in the mood to enter into a body”

As Anya screamed from her bedroom screaming at her brother saying to him

“Why are you doing this”

As her brother then just looked to her saying

“Because I need your body”

As the streetlight from outside shined onto him as he slowly made his way over to her as he said to her

“Oh come on you know that you want me inside of you”

Just as Anya had made her way into another room in the hospital walking into a room where a tv was playing. Showing with a gentleman saying

“What if there where other worlds out there, other worlds where they was another you”

As her brother then made his way closer to Anya as she kept screaming and shouting

“What do want from me”

Just as a spider then ran across her arm terrifying her even more Just as her brother looked to her saying to her

“ Terrified, are you?”

Just as Anya reached up into the closet of the hospital room reaching up to a shelf not noticing a glass jar setting there. As she could see it now slowly falling to ground before breaking open as a group of spiders then ran from the broken jar and onto her.

With Anya now on her knees screaming to the ceiling just as the security officer then walked up to her. Saying to her

“ Terrified, are you? Oh come on! There only spiders you know”

As Anya looked into the eyes of her brother looking into his eyes seeing what seemed to be her brother. As he then emerged into her becoming her as Anya sat there staring into the street light. Just as the security guard was now standing there shining his flashlight into her eyes as he said to her

“Oh come on there only spiders you know I mean how could a girl like you be afraid of a little spider” as Anya stood up looking into the security guards eyes saying to him

“Did you get what you come to see”

As her brother then looked down to Anya that was still looking into the street light as he then said to her

“Oh I got what I was looking for, the only question is now how many more plays do you even have left in you”

As he then grabbed onto her looking into her eyes just as Anya kept looking into the street light. As she then said to her brother

“I do it because I always wanted to be you”

As her brother looked straight into her eyes as he could now see her disappearing once again knowing that she had now jumped into another her.

“Oh the night is still young you know that I will be keeping my eyes on you”

As the tv was still playing on the wall as the gentleman was now saying

“Now imagine this, what if they were another you, and not only another you. But another you that was being stalked by a killer from another world”

Just as the security guard turned around shining his flashlight into Anya’s eyes as he said to her

“And what if they was another you out there and someone was trying to kill you”

As the security guard then looked to her just a laughing away just as Anya walked out of the diner walking over to her car. Looking up to the moon above her just as she started her car as she sat there looking into the window of the diner. Looking at her one headlight shining back at her as she thought to herself

“I know my next move and that is that they are other me out there and if you think that you have morphed into me. I am now another me”

As Anya looked into her one headlight shining away at her as she back out making her down the same highway going to the hospital to where Anya was. As Anya stood there looking down the hall looking at the security guard still shining his light onto her saying

“I see you”

As Anya just looked on to the smiling security guard as he looked on still shining his light on her. As Anya drove on down the highway with her one headlight shining on through the night a night that was still young.

As Anya was now setting in the break room of the hospital looking down at her not looking so good lunch. As the security guard Dave walked into the break room looking over to Anya as she sat there looking down at her not looking so good lunch. Just as she looked up to Dave saying to him

“Now I have really lost my appetite”

Just as the fifty’s styled gentleman walked into the same diner that Anya had left from earlier making his way over to the counter. As the waitress not really wanting to wait on him slowly making her way over to him as he sat a photo down on the counter.

Just as Anya pulled out a photo of her pocket book in the break room of the hospital looking at it. As she looked to the security guard saying to him

“Do you ever feel like someone is here with you with you knowing that they are not here, but you just keep getting the feeling”

As the fifty’s styled gentleman then looked up to the waitress asking her if she had seen the person in the photo here. As the waitress just stood there not really wanting to do much of anything looked any ways asking him

“Who is it?”

Just then as the security guard Dave looked to the photo that Anya was holding as Anya looked to the photo as she said

“He’s my twin brother, he was killed last year”

As the security guard look to Anya saying to her

“I’m sorry to hear that, did they ever catch who killed him”

As the waitress looked to the photo of Anya say to the gentleman

“Yeah! I remember seeing her earlier, and just who is she exactly”

As the fifty’s styled gentleman looked to her saying to her

“She’s my twin sister”

As he just sat there for a moment staring into her eyes before saying

“And if you would please tell me in what direction she was headed it’s really important that I see her”

As the waitress looked to him letting him know that she had seen her driving down the road towards the old hospital. As the gentleman got up thanking her as he walked out the door just as the security guard received a call on his walkie. Letting him know that he was needed else where’s

But before he left the room he turned to Anya saying to her

“Look you know I’m here if you need anything tonight”

As Anya’s twin brother made his way down the road looking to the photo of his twin sister saying

“You know soon that I will find you, all of you”

As Anya made her way down the highway looking up into the vanity mirror looking at her red hair. As she gave a quick glance behind her before once again looking at the highway in front of her. With her one head shining into the night As Anya got up from the table in the break room.

Placing the photo back into her pocket book as she looked up at the light in the break room saying to herself

“I know one day that I will find out who killed you and for what reason, and even though I can feel you here with me. I know that you are looking over me”

As her twin brother looked to the photo of his twin sister saying

“Yes I will find you, all of you”

Just as Anya pulled into the abandoned parking lot the hospital as she sat there looking in the window of the lobby. Setting there in her car looking into the window seeing as her cars one headlight was still shining back at her as she said out loud

“My dear brother how you always wanted to be me”

As Anya now slowly made her way into the abandoned hospital making her way down a darkened hallway. Making her way into a room with its only light coming from a street light outside. Finding her way to a bathroom where she stood there looking into the mirror.

As Anya stood there looking in the bathroom mirror standing there looking into the mirror at a hazel blue eyed brown haired girl. Just as she saw a light coming into the room as the security guard stood there looking at her.

As Anya then looked back into the mirror saying to him

“Now what? Seeing as you have found me again”

As her twin brother stood there looking at his twin sister standing there looking into the mirror looking at a red haired girl. As he said to her

“Well it looks like once again that I have found you”

As Anya looked to her twin brother saying to him

“And how many times do I have to kill you brother”

As Anya looked to the security guard Dave saying to him

“You know in a strange way I just keep getting the feeling that my brother is here with me”

As the security guard just stood there for moment before saying to her

“And just exactly how did your brother die”

As Anya’s twin brother stood there looking to Anya before saying to her

“How many more plays do you have left”

And with a smile as Anya looked into the mirror looking at herself said

“How many of you are there left”

As the security guard Dave continued to stand there looking to Anya saying to her

“Look I know that the feeling of losing someone can stay with you, even leaving you with the feeling of them still being here with you”

As Anya then turned to the security guard Dave looking to him saying to him

“I know it’s weird but I just keep getting the feeling of that my brother is still here with me somehow”

While Anya looked to her twin brother saying

“And how do I know what my next play is going to be? It is as simple as this”

As Anya then looked up into the mirror looking at herself as she was now holding a blood covered knife in her hands. As she looked over to brother lying there dead on the ground all dressed up in his security guard outfit. As she then once again looked into the mirror looking knowing that it was still far from over that more of him was still out there somewhere.

While Elsewhere’s Anya sat there on the floor of the bathroom still shaken up as she looked over to the security guard Dave lying there dead on the floor. Having been shot from behind with her still having know idea if the perpetrator was still in the hospital somewhere’s.

Getting herself up from the floor before running down the hall to the security room to notify the police. Just as feeling suddenly came over as she turned around seeing someone standing there in the shadows. Leaving Anya with the feeling of not knowing whether to run or not just as the figure disappeared into the night.

Later that night as Anya was leaving the abandoned hospital thinking to herself as she later pulled out of the parking lot of the hospital that she knew that there were more of him out there somewhere. As then took the photo of her twin brother out from her pocket book. Looking at it as she said

“What’s your next move?”

Knowing that he had have always preferred to have been born her” as she looked once more to the photo of her twin brother. Remembering back to when the photo was taken remembering faking his own death knowing that he was still out there somewheres.

While later on in the night as Anya had just left the hospital after talking to the police as she looked over to the photo of her brother. The same feeling that she had felt earlier from the figure. Had now come over her again as she looked ti the photo of her brother thinking back to a memory of them together when they were much younger. With Anya remembering her brother saying to her

“No matter what Anya I will be there to protect you”

Not knowing what had happened but knowing somehow from a feeling that somewhere he was out there trying to set things right. The way that it used to be before another him found out that he could jump into parallel worlds. Jump into their body’s changing his world to what he wanted it to be.

as Anya then drove into the night as her one headlight shined on into the night
