FADE IN:

The thought was frightening. The memory burned into 
his brain. He’d been branded like a cow. What a 
frightening sight to see… Agent Dana Scully with a 
green face. It didn’t take much force to get him out 
of the room. He preferred the couch, and he certainly 
didn’t want be in the same room as that frightening 
sight.

He had been scarred. Scarred for life.

The image of Dana Scully emerging from the bathroom 
with that green thing on her face kept Fox Mulder 
twisting and turning in fear as he slept on the 
couch.

“The thrill was gone” he thought. “But the chill was 
still there.”

That chilling sight of Scully in that green facial 
mask!

He turned again in his sleep. His eyes squeezed 
tight. He didn’t want to open his eyes in fear that 
she would be looking over him with that green
thing on her face. The thought frightened him.

Why would Skinner send them on this undercover 
assignment? What was his real reason? Was he pissed 
at Mulder? At Scully?

Mulder knew that Scully and Skinner had a fight 
before he assigned them on this assignment. They’re 
relationship was a bit rocky. Why else would Skinner 
have sent her to be “married” to Mulder on her 
birthday? It was the only explanation, he was mad at 
her and thought she deserved a week of hell with 
Mulder. But now it was Mulder who was in hell. Scully
got him back for all those ditches by scaring him 
with that green mask!

He turned in his sleep again as the image re-entered 
his mind.

Would he never again have a peaceful night’s sleep? 
Probably not. He wanted out of this assignment,     
x-file or not, he didn’t care any more. The comfort 
of his own apartment and knowing that Agent Scully 
would never be there when he woke up was the only 
happy thought he could think of.  Saying good night 
to his fish, they never wore green masks on their
faces as they went to sleep.

The image re-entered his head. This time Scully not 
only emerging from the bathroom with the green facial 
mask on but she looked overly horrifying… like a 
monster!

Mulder tossed and turned again. The image wouldn’t 
leave his head. He falls off the couch with a loud 
thud, he screams as he’s suddenly awakened by his own 
falling.

He looks around the room. A sigh of relief as he 
notices she’s not down there. He gets back on the 
couch, lays down, attempting to sleep.

Insomnia will stay with him until he knows he’s safe 
at home…

FADE OUT:

THE END.
