This isn't Exactly What I Asked For - Her Own Worst Enemy

She didn't know where she was, at first. Then, as she looked round the room, smelt the antiseptic, her memories returned. There was something strapped to her head, wires leading down from it. A young woman was standing at the end of her bed, a sneer on her face, plumping up a pillow. Her face looked kind of familiar. Surely she couldn't be a nurse, not in that revealing outfit, and with that blue hair and those tattoos and piercings.1405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJBqoSc8fC

It was then that she realised who the young woman was. "You're -" she began, as the pillow was pushed down on her face.1405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAc0Sy77Me

"Finally you recognise yourself," the young woman said, holding down the pillow until long after the old lady had stopped struggling. "So long, me, and thanks for the memories." She released her grip on the pillow, and removed the woman's headgear. Her old self's face was contorted into a scream.1405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoP5oQoCw6B
