Inktober #15 - Helmet (Patreon)
Content
Mariah came running to my side. She had just gotten off her bike and hadn't even taken her helmet off yet.
"Annie, please help me!" she told me in a voice that sounded strangely double.
"But what's wrong with you?" I asked before realizing her face was changing and stretching.
"I'm doing mitosis!" she said in panic, "I don't want to take my helmet off so my head doesn't split!"
"Your head or my head?" she said next, denoting that her brain was separating.
Realizing the situation, I quickly stood up and put my hands on either side of her helmet. "Mariah... or Mariahs, I know it's scary but choose: you can be two healthy people or two people with the skull crushed inside a helmet."
Mariah looked at me for a moment, then her eyes locked with each other. She closed her eyes and she said, "Ok, get us the helmet off."
