Once there was a family who lived in the town of Clayhill. Roy, a man who's quite known for his drinking problems and cannibalism, was married and had a son while his little brother, Wally, a man who's loved for his silly personality, artistic talents, and charming looks, had stayed single. Roy's son, Manny, had reached adolescence. However, his personality isn't as matured as a normal teenage boy. Wally is quite fond of his nephew due to the fact that Manny has the spirit of a young playful child and is as much of an art lover like him. Roy and his wife barely spend some time with their son. Both of them are quite too busy in their own ways and are always away. As a result, Manny started bonding more with his uncle and 2 best friends.

Everything was going well before Wally received a phone call from an unknown person. This person claims to be able to help Wally fix his problem with his brother. The truth is, Roy neglects his younger brother due to jealousy. Lots of people admired Wally more than they do with Roy. Soon, he started getting more hateful on his own little brother and accused him as the black sheep of the family. Wally, on the other hand, believed what his older brother says and was saddened by it. He tried improving his looks and even shaped his hair even better and changed his way of fashion but that didn't changed. So he was forced to heed the advices of this mysterious caller...

Manny seems to be the only one who noticed Wally's behavior was slowly changing ever since he received that phone call. The teenage boy's uncle was being quieter than usual. Wally started having habits that are nonhuman. He blinks less than usual and was obsessed of staring into other people's souls. Worse is, he keeps sulking in the darkest corner, talking with himself or the mysterious phone caller about a certain group of people nobody else in the household know about and he frequently talks about wanting to "manipulate his victims". He also grew fond of painting pictures of what look like a colorful house leaking with slick ink substance that seemingly stares back at whoever would look at the painting. Manny is scared of what's going on. Assuming his favorite uncle might soon become a serial killer, he attempts to convince Wally to "not let the unseen monsters take control" but it was of no use.

At first, Roy was as scared as his son was and assumed he's probably drunk again. But after remembering how jealous he is of his little brother, Roy decided to use this as an excuse to call Wally "the black sheep of the family" and get rid of him once and for all. One dark night, the crazy old man carries out his plan. He sneaks into Wally's room, carrying a kitchen knife. But as Roy was about to stab his own brother in the chest to eat his flesh, Wally opens his eyes wide and blinks again for the first time in 3 months. However, his blink has a horrifying effect. One of Roy's eyes disappeared like as if someone stopped the time to gouge his eye out. Roy screams in horror and pain as blood continuously escaped his injured eye socket while Wally just stayed there and watched him with his unmoving soulless eyes and malicious smile.

"I know you want to eat me, brother. But that doesn't matter. I've found a better Home." That was the last quote Roy was ever heard from his little brother before Wally was captured by a series of dark tentacle-like substance, letting him leave the room swift and quiet.
