THE MAN
WITH THE
YELLOW FACE
The end
Written by: Anthony Horowitz
“And I would have said his face was filled with raw horror.”
“But I didn’t get back to London. Not for a long, long time.”
“Now that I’d thought about it, the man was sitting in exactly the same position that I’d taken inside the photo booth.”
"It didn’t look like me. It looked more like my ghost.”
“Even now I wonder why I allowed myself to be pushed, or persuaded, into the train”
