Misty #6th May 1978 [14]

In a quiet moment at school, Jenny finds herself isolated—until she sees her classmates toss a book into the ivy-covered chapel wall. Climbing to retrieve it, she glimpses something unsettling through a window: a hooded figure murmuring over a photo of herself on the altar.

In "null," Maggie stands firm against pressure to abandon her paints and Amy’s picture, her brushstrokes lingering with quiet defiance. As she works, she catches a glimpse of Mr. Thursby studying Amy’s drawings, and when her father returns with unexpected news from him, the air grows thick with unspoken meaning.

In "Stone Cold Revenge," Leslie’s frustration over her father’s gift choice spirals when she kicks a garden gnome—only to find the creatures around her beginning to act strangely. As pranks escalate and blame falls on her, the gnomes’ mischief turns terrifying when they swarm her home while her parents are away, leaving her frozen in fear.

In a quiet moment shattered by sudden violence, Shih Yu’s interruption ends in tragedy as he falls. Chen, clutching his fallen comrade’s sword, makes a choice that leaves the others reeling. As Gayle collapses in shock, Dave is struck by a chilling awareness—someone is watching, and the silence is no longer safe.

Ellie steps into the shop at Crooked Corner, drawn by an odd calm and the unsettling presence of two men behind the counter—one with a kind blue eye, the other a cold black one. As she browses the curious goods, a growing sense of unease settles in, hinting at a truth far stranger than the shop’s quiet facade suggests.

In "Was It Just... a Game?", Jo finds herself isolated at school, mocked for her quiet ways and her father’s distant travels, which bring her exotic dolls from faraway places. When she skips a school trip, strange accidents befall the girls who tormented her—leaving her to wonder if her quiet life has quietly begun to change.

In the quiet tension of a once-happy home, Janice’s brother Kevin’s new scrap car becomes an unwelcome presence after she cuts her hand on it and calls it a heap. The garage grows heavier with each passing day, until Janice dares to enter and discovers the car has been named “Satan’s Wheels”—and now, as she stands frozen, the engine roars to life, turning the metal beast toward her.
