Man’s body stirs. Pivots upright, stiff as a board. Old woman places hand on man’s head. Says something to him. Man drops to knees, worships her.

Subject whispers in dummy’s ear. Dummy’s head multiplies. New heads pile one by one on top of dummy’s existing head. Man bulks up, sprouts long, albino hair over face, body. Morphs into monster with huge, curved blades for arms. Heads separate from dummy. From each other. Spin rapidly in air, covered in blazing flames. Monsters and heads do battle. Blade arms swing blindingly fast. Heads dart in and out. Blood gushing. Not all of it red. Subject and old woman watch calmly. Penthouse quaking. Window panes crash to street.

Night sky pulsating with strange colors. Monstrous animate shapes silhouetted against heavens. Penthouse aflame. Fight between heads and monster spills outside, down to street below. Nuclear-intense flash. Hellish roar. Several heads fly up, splashed in purplish goo. Distant sirens. Subject and old woman face each other in flaming penthouse. Grow and grow. Legs burst through bottom floors of apartment building. Top halves pierce roof. Building collapses.
9:37 pm
Camera shaken out of place. Reposition. Ensure it hasn’t stopped recording.
9:38 pm
Subject and old woman now unthinkable monstrosities thousands of feet high. Blinding fire pours from teeming eyes. Tendrils lash at creation. Surveillance building quakes from thunderous footfalls. Boiling sky rips open. Hell gushes through. Dark, heaving masses clutching, smothering.

End of world.
