My Brother... the Ghoul

Identical twins live out by the cemetery and when one gets hurt the other feels it. One is just but the other is a grave robber. The grave robber is sighted by the night watchman one evening and followed back to his dwelling. He switches clothes with the good brother so that he is the one arrested and sent to the electric chair. Moments before the execution the good brother professes his innocence, but of course this doesn't delay the pull of the switch. Miles away, the fatal current surges through the grave robber's body and the good brother asks to be released from the device.

On his way to the agency Roger's skin forms a scaley burning spot on his chin that he shrugs off. During the interview he shrugs off the the lack of experience he has and focuses on how handsome he is. While doing this his face begins to burn like before. The interviewer, Edward Morris, finally looks at him and dismisses his boasts due to the amount of scars on his face. Roger rushes from the office and looks at the mirror on his way home. He can't believe his eyes when he spots that the scales have spread on his face so much so that people on the subway are starting to stare and pity him.

Returning home he locks himself away in his apartment and hides or obscures all mirrors. He also cuts off the outside world, only paying for food delivery and his rent under the door. After some time passes his curiosity gets the better of him and he cleans off the mirror to have a look. What he sees is not that man that woman would talk about, but a ghoulish figure looking back at him.
