The Lurker at the Threshold (ic)

Yig's followers plot to summon him, and only nun Sister Mary, psychologist Carolyn Fern, and photographer Darrell Simmons can stop him. The Lurker at the Threshold offers a shortcut to power, but the price may be too high. Will they succeed, or will the great serpent return to rule the world?

Darrell yells to the tommy gun toting woman.

"I knew there was someone else fighting against the evil in this Godforsaken town." As she fires Darrell cheers. "Drill the lizard!"

He rushes at Yig with an axe, screaming in terror, and swings the weapon: the axe bites into Yig's tail.

Yig tries to stamp on Darrell, who nimbly ducks away.

"You'll have to do better than that!"

Darnell sees the woman physically grow in stature and hope fills his heart.

Again he swings the axe--a true haymaker--but the blade whisks over Yig's head; the axe thumps into the ground, only a fraction of an inch from his T-bar shoe.

Round 2 Investigators Attack
Carolyn empties another drum of .45 bullets into Yig, and this time most of them connect! The monstrosity reels from the onslaught and starts to weaken, but it is still far from defeated.

Yig's forked tongue whips against the side of Darrell's face, his fedora and an ear spin away from his head with a spray of blood.

"Don't give up," Carolyn says encouragingly to Darrell as she reloads. "We're hurting that thing, and it's bleeding. If it bleeds, we can kill it."

Carolyn places a comforting hand on Darrel's shoulder and his mental torment is relieved.

"Until that monster snaps my spine I shall never give up, never."

Darrell launches himself towards Yig--in a rage fuelled by the pain of his sliced off ear--and hews with the axe at Yig.

Darrell swings the axe once again, but misses pathetically--probably due to the tears in his eyes.

Yig's claw rakes Darrell's leg, shredding the fabric of his pants and skinning a shin. Darrell spits.
