Bad Machinery by John Allison for December 14, 2022

Uhoh

This is reality frightening and I’m sad for poor Mike. I wonder what happened for make him become a Mr. Hide. NOW RUN ERIN, RUN!!!

Oh, dear. He’s a Hyde.

Oooh! I did not see that coming! Mike wasn’t even on my radar.

Wow. Even his clothes transformed.

So – - does he stalk the sewers too?

Say hello to my little friend.

Hmm…

Go forth and conquer!!

Riddle me this:

my first is in cobblers but never in nuts;

my second is hairy but not like two butts;

I’m born in the morning and die in the eve;

I’m never a Heston but sometimes a Steve.

Time for Night-Gaunt to swing in to save them. Oh, darn she doesn’t exist in this universe. Paraguay is still there instead of Nuevo Germania, and she wouldn’t be at Tackleford either in a fascist republic thousands of miles away.

What a twist!
