The day twelve-year-old Danny was admitted to Willoughbrook Mental Hospital, the whole town said he was insane. He smashed windows in class, screaming that something in the walls was calling to him. His unconsciously drawn symbols covered the edges of his textbooks, like ancient symbols! He began to forget his mother's face, his birthday, and his best friend's name. The doctor said it was "early-onset schizophrenia," and that electroconvulsive therapy could "fix" him. Only his three friends didn't believe it. They desperately searched for evidence to convince the adults: a wall with twisting heads, a constantly breathing underground membrane… The children's eyes were empty, as if something had hollowed them out. They heard whispers from the walls, saw reflections in the mirrors that were a beat slower than reality, and smelled decay. That thing had been eating. Now, it had chosen Danny. Are you afraid of being alone?
