Double Life

by Marcus L. Rowland

"She could've killed me."

"No," says Giles. "she couldn't. Never. And sooner or later Glory will re-emerge..." He hesitates, knowing what he must do.

He waits too long; Ben's form distorts, and Glory reappears.

"That's a good trick," says Giles. "It won't help."

He feels regret for the life he has led here, his past almost forgotten, then Glory raises her hands and he knows he's out of time. Before she reaches his head he says the word.

"Kimota."

The blast rocks the town, vaporises Glory. Reborn, Miracleman rescues the women and saves the world he is destined to rule.
