Hey! Where's the Artwork?



Panel A

Back at Sarah's house, Sarah tries to push further back into her corner as Handsome approaches her. Handsome's hands drip with gore, and what appear to be ropes of sinew lead from his hands to something out of frame on the floor.

HANDSOME: "Come on, kid! What's it going to take to make you truly terrified?"


Panel B

Continue scene. Handsome approaches Sarah. He seems to be using the bloody sinew to manipulate something before him on the floor like a marionette. We can't yet see what it is.

HANDSOME: "Here she is! Here she is!"


Panel C

In the Halls of Closet, on an empty wall, the outline of a door begins to appear.


Panel D

Continue scene. As Handsome gets closer to Sarah, we can finally see what it is that he is doing. He has eviscerated the family cat, and has fashioned it into a zombie-cat marionette using its own entrails. He is manipulating the dead cat so that it appears to be walking towards Sarah as she cowers in the corner of the room.

HANDSOME: "Here comes kitty!"


Panel E

In the Halls of Closet, a new door begins to take form where once there was just an empty wall.


Panel F

Continue scene. As Handsome moves the cat closer and closer to Sarah, a soft brown light begins to shine out from around the closed door of her closet. Sarah is sobbing and terrified, but she can't seem to take her eyes off the cat.

HANDSOME: "Dammit, kid! I'm losing my patience with you!"
