[ Eileen stands in the middle of the lawn, wrapped in a bathrobe and looking very distressed. From the way her eyes sweep up and down the block, taking in the eerily similar houses, one can guess that she's a new resident to Mayfield

[Walking by with a bag of groceries

[lookingformykid]

You haven't gone back have you?

That place is not safe.

[rebornmother]

[ Shakes head in the negative. ]

It's been years; and after all the sick stories I've heard since then, you don't have to worry about me going back.

[lookingformykid]

Sick stories?

[He shakes his head]

I wish I'd heard them. My daughter and I went there for a vacation...and then...well something happened. I don't really know what.

I was searching for her in the town when I was brought here. It was....different there. Full of fog and...these creatures.

[rebornmother]

[ The word "creatures" conjures up images of ghosts and bloodthirsty dogs with exposed muscle. ]

I know what you mean.

[ Then, quietly: ]

So... what happened with your daughter?

[lookingformykid]

[Yup those]

...we were driving into town when someone...I think it was a young woman...ran out in front of the car. We crashed and when I woke up ....Cheryl was gone and I was alone in a town filled with fog and falling snow...

I met a cop from Brahms a little later but aside from her...the town seems to be abandonded. Except for the monsters...they're there of course.

[He shakes his head with a wry chuckle]

I was trying to find my daughter when I woke up here. I don't know how but I think something in that town is trying to stop me from finding her.

[rebornmother]

[ Poor man, separated from his daughter in the midst of all that craziness. It's amazing he's carrying on so well. ]

I'm sorry. I can't imagine what that must be like.

[lookingformykid]

[He smiles slightly...sadly]

It's....not easy.

But I'm going to find her. She's...all that matters to me in life.

[Completly honest here]

So, where were you before they draged you here?

[rebornmother]

[ Crosses arms tightly. ]

Ashfield, but I was getting ready to move.

[lookingformykid]

[He pauses]

Ashfield....not South Ashfield?

[Guess who he talked to during the 4th wall event. :)]

[rebornmother]

Yeah, that's right.

[lookingformykid]

Do you know a Henry Townshend from South Ashfield Hieghts? I don't know who he is but when the phones were acting all strange here I got a phone call from him.

[rebornmother]

[ Eyes widen considerably. ]

...Henry? You spoke to Henry?

[lookingformykid]

Yeah...you know him?

[He rubs his head and tries to put it in better context]

On April Fools day the phones were ringing of the hook here.

On the people I talked to was a man named Henry Townshed. He said he was trapped in his apartment.

[rebornmother]

[ A line appears between her brows. ]

Are you sure that's what he said?

[lookingformykid]

[He frowns for a moment]

I think so. He said he was trapped...

I have it written down at home. And there's somethiing about a strange man who's supposed to be dead and he's convinced that an apartment is his mother.
