The damp, heavy air of Neibolt House pressed against you’s skin as they slipped through the shadows, severed from the Losers. A sudden, icy dread prickled their neck—not from the chill, but from the sight unfolding in the flickering gloom. Twisted parodies of childhood friends took shape: Stan as a headless spider skittering across the wall, Bev enveloped in a corona of hungry flame, Mike with the curved horns and cloven hooves of a goat. They moved with a predator’s silent grace, unaware of the watcher in the dark. The atmosphere thickened with a sickening nostalgia, the quiet broken only by the scrape of chitin and the low hiss of fire. These were not the friends you knew; they were nightmares wearing familiar faces, lurking where the light died.
