Möbius Strip: Kiss of the Poison Apple

Dreanna was still miffed at He-man Bastard of the Universe but he did have a point there was something about the bodies… besides the fact that they were everywhere.

First, it was every living thing. Every man, woman, child, even the animals. Second, they were all, every last one mummified. Third, and the strangest of all, they all looked like they were sleeping, peacefully.

It was like they had all stopped whatever it was that they were doing, found a nice spot, laid down and went to sleep… forever.

The serene look upon their faces was both hauntingly beautiful and unnervingly disturbing at the same time.

“They’re sleeping!” she exclaimed.

“Exactly” Eric replied “Now what do you think…”

“Something else” she interrupted, pointing to a group of bodies nearby “Did you notice that they are all facing in the same direction?”

“Dammit! How did I miss that?” Eric chided himself “What is with this place?”

“Come on, its this way” he replied as he started off in the direction the bodies were facing.
