CROOKED HEART.
prologue, the man in the mask.
[ original episode ]
"MOM. MOM, WAKE UP." Whispers a voice.
A girl turned woman peels her eyes opened. She rubs her sleepy blue eyes with the heels of her hands. When she pulls back, her eyes fall onto the girl in front of her.
"What is it?" The woman asks.
"I had a bad dream." The girl responds.
"Honey?" Comes the voice of the other woman laying in the bed. "What's wrong?"
"I had a nightmare," The child tells her parents.
"About what, Honey?" Questions the brown haired woman.
A child stands in her nightmare. A look of terror is written on her face as she witnesses the scene before her.
A man stands at the bottom of a hill. A mask covers his true face. He stares up at the community. He can see the top of a large house peeking over the walls people have built.
In his hands are two large knives that remind the little girl of her mother's knives. Blood drips off of the blades. A horrible, deep red blood.
The sound of the blood hitting the dirt is amplified. As soon as the sound hits her ears the girl screams, pressing her hands tightly against her ears.
The man whirls around, now facing the child. Her eyes widen at the sight of him staring at her. How can he see her? This is a nightmare. None of this is real.
But no.
The man in the mask starts walking towards her with his bloody blades still in hand.
The mask, she realizes, is not a normal mask. It's terrifying and should not exist.
It's made of the dead.
As soon as he reaches her—
"Monsters."
