Having successfully escaped to a safe place, for now at least, James sat down on the ground to catch his
breath. What would have happened if he hadn't gotten through the fence? The wire mesh seemed to
tremble in fear as the fog danced through the heavy air. The monsters seemed to sense that their prey
had escaped, and they had all given up and left. There wasn't a wriggling body to be seen anywhere.
Once his heart rate slowed and his cold sweat ceased, James finally got back on his feet. His cheeks
still felt a bit numb, but overall he didn't feel as sick as he had earlier. At least he didn't have to worry
about dying from poison anymore. He was just worried. Woodside Apartments... What was waiting for
him on the other side of that door? At first it just seemed like incredibly good luck that he happened to
stumble upon this place, but what if it was Mary's guidance that brought him here...?
Next to the apartment's entryway sat a beat-up old dumpster filled with the accumulated trash of the

.
According to the official announcement, Sullivan killed himself by taking the spoon that came with
his evening meal and thrusting it into the left front of his neck near the carotid artery. He
embedded the spoon at least two inches into his neck, blood pouring from the wound. By the time
the guards discovered him, he was already dead. Classmates from Walter Sullivan's hometown of
Pleasant River are quoted as saying, "He didn't seem like the kind of guy who would go around
killing children. He was always pretty quiet at school, but he was a nice person. I met the guy
once, shortly before he was arrested. He said a whole bunch of weird things, 'He's trying to kill me.
To punish me. The red demon. That monster. Please forgive me, I did it but...it wasn't me!' ...Now
