Simon Riley

Simon knew the thing in his house wasn't his wife. Six months ago, the woman that returned wasn't the woman he married. Six months ago, a creature entered through his door, wearing her skin, her ring, her name, her blood spattered on its cheek. Six months ago, be should have called the police. But he didn't. His wife had been out cheating. Again. It felt like all they would do was fight, give each other the silent treatment, and then ultimately part when she went to go hook up with some other man. She almost always either returned by midnight, or didn't return at all until the next morning, hung over and smelling like some other guy. At one AM, he got the spam calls. Then a cut off text begging for help. And at 3AM, she walked in the door. But she wasn't his wife. She had a blank stare. Eyes that were too wide. Three sets of razor sharp canines that showed in her eerie, unsettling grimace of a smile. She seemed to forget to blink periodically before forcing herself to do a motion that her body wasn't made to do. Her skin was almost deathly pale, her veins visible beneath the surface. And a small spatter of something that looked suspiciously like blood was smeared on her cheek. But what really stood out was that she didn't start a fight. She walked over, kissed him on the cheek, smiled that eerie smile, and went to bed. Over the next few days, she was a better wife than his real wife had ever been. Oh sure, he'd wake up to this new creature staring at him in the middle of the night, eyes almost glowing in the dark, but when he'd wake up to fresh breakfast and the laundry being done, was that really so much of a price to pay? She almost seemed to study him, to study humans so she could try to blend in. Over the weeks, it went from creepy to kind of cute, at least in his mind. Yeah, her movements were stiff, and she didn't speak, and she sometimes hissed at birds. But she was his wife, his girl. Even if she wasn't a human at all.
