Issue 38 "About 2:00 a.m., a noise startled me out of sleep. It came from the lower left corner of my backyard. Actually, it was a combination of sounds: dogs barking excitedly in varying in pitches and tones, along with muffled sounds I'd never heard before. I bolted from my bed and grabbed the pistol from the closet. The whole world seemed surreal and dreamlike as I ran down the hall and through the kitchen. The living-room chair that I always sat comfortably in looked completely unfamiliar. The dining-room table seemed out of place. I was running through my house with a gun in my hand to confront this THING I had been hearing about on the news. Everything felt out of sync." --Gary Williams, "The Thing" |
