Hey! Where's the Artwork?



Panel A

In Sarah's room, Handsome hovers over Sarah as she pushes the cat away from her. She screams, and as she screams, that strange brown light shines out clearly from around the edges of her closet door.


Panel B

In the Halls of Closet, Sarah's door is complete. Her crest rests upon the door. Sarah's crest is a house-shaped polygon with a doll sitting inside holding the Magic Infinity Ball in her lap. The doll seems to be staring impassively down into the ball's message-window. Flames surround the "roof" of the house-shaped polygon.


Panel C

In Sarah's room, Handsome has turned away from Sarah to face the closet. He smiles. Sarah cowers at his feet.


Panel D

Handsome smiles down at Sarah as he drops the cat-marionette's sinew ropes.

HANDSOME: "There now. That wasn't so hard, was it?"


Panel E

Handsome drops his pistol into Sarah's lap. Sarah stares at it, frozen in fear.

HANDSOME: "Here kid. Play with this."


Panel F

As Sarah trembles in the corner, paralyzed by her fear, Handsome opens the door of her closet and steps through.
