The date is October 31st, 1982, and a storm is brewing to the east. Lorna Jones, one of the many students of Ashwood Academy, wanders the halls aimlessly, her eyes blank but opened wide. The wind howls through the trees surrounding the property and the moon has risen high in the sky. In the first hour of all saints day, she left the estate and slowly made her way to the bridge over the river. By the time she reaches the bridge, the storm has blown in, the wind has grown stronger, hail is falling, and the river is raging. Lorna climbs to the top of the bridge, eyes still open wide. The wind howls around her, but doesn't move a single hair on her head. In the space of a moment, she falls from the bridge to the rushing water.
