This Weird House
The Condemned House on 13 Creature Lane 124th Issue, May 1, 1988
13 Creature Lane, the only house still left standing in the old section of town, was abandoned 10 years ago after resident Jane Lindsay appeared dead in it. The courts ruled that her husband, Alfred Lindsay, was the murderer, but he denied it, saying that "a monstrous wolf hybrid" mauled his wife to death. Our journalists were unable to get into the house, but report that the house seemed to be falling apart. It is in very bad shape, and we advise that all people should stay away from it.

"Allison, what's your favorite thing to paint?"
"Oh, I don't know, Kyle! There are so many beautiful things out there!"
"Isn't there one thing that just makes you so happy to paint? Come on Allison, you can tell me!"
"Well, I love sunsets. The colors are just so beautiful. I don't think I'm good enough to recreate them perfectly."
"Allison, you're the best artist I've ever met!"
"Oh Kyle, that's sweet!"

Kyle has shown little improvement. Has a few moments of clarity, but still has nightmares and is mostly unresponsive. If Allison is mentioned, will either go into a catatonic state or become extremely violent. More pills?

"Oh my gosh! This is a bad idea, Kyle!"
"Come on, we're already here!"
"I read about 13 Creature Lane! Somebody died here!
"Are you scared, Allison?"
"Maybe I am, okay? The house looks like it'll fall apart. And there are rumors of a weird animal here! Can we just go?"
"Let's go up the steps!"
"Kyle, come back! Those don't look safe...Kyle! I'm coming!"
"Let's go in!"
"No! Don't - aaah! You broke the door! Why are you such an idiot- No COME BACK! Get out of there! Ugh, Kyle!"
"Allison, this place is crazy cool! Look at that!"
"Okay, alright, that's a cool chair. Now can we leave. Ugh, and he's going down into the...basement? Kyle!"

"So, have you decided about college?"
"No, Allie, I haven't! You're going to that really cool art academy, and I only got an offer from that one place that I don't like!"
"Kyle! First, don't call me Allie! And second, that's a beautiful school! And the journalism program, which, let me remind you, you got accepted to, is great! I think you should go!"
"Really? I mean, I really do want to do journalism..."
"Definitely do it!"
"Thanks, Allie! You're a great friend!"
"It's Allison, and you're welcome!"

"This is a pretty cool basement, Allison! Seriously! And there's a door that leads to outside, I guess. Oh look! A pile of... bones?"
"Ew! Gross! We need to get out of here!"
"No, come on! Weird, those look like human bones!"
"Oh my God! Oh my God!"
"What?"
"R-r-run! It's the wolf from the magazine! AAAAAAAH"

Psychological Report for Kyle Danover
Psychologist: Elena Kastner
Age of patient: 30
Kyle is more responsive, but still gets horrible nightmares. Must be watched very vigilantly, can become easily violent. I asked him about Allison today. He just stared at me blankly. Improvement? It was his 30th birthday today, and it doesn't look like Kyle will ever celebrate his birthday anywhere but the mental institution.
