EVIL

* * * * *

Brion entered the temple and stood as if rooted to the
ground. There was a horror in this place--it clung to
everything. Muffled and hooded men stood silent and
unmoving about the room, their attention rigidly focused
on a figure in the center. Brion wondered how he knew they
were men--only their eyes showed, eyes completely empty
of expression yet somehow reminding him of a bird of prey.

* * * * *

Then suddenly the figure in the center moved. It was a
weird, crazily menacing action--and in an instant Brion
knew he had found the enemy, the source of the evil that
infected the PLANET OF THE DAMNED.
