The lights suddenly go out, and a deep silence invades the room. Freddie doesn't dare to move, as he hears a deep breath behind his bare neck. He's sure there's someone or something beside him, and presses his eyes closed, and his lips, trying to contain a scream. 
Brian tries to look around but he can't see anything but black, so he uses his other senses and sticks to his guitar, putting his arms around it, looking around as if he saw anything, but he couldn't see anything, just like when someone's blinded with a cloth. 
Roger is the one who can't keep calm so he hyperventilates and starts to sigh heavily, leaning his hands on his knees, looking down at the ground. He had some kind of trauma when he was younger and he was very scared of the darkness.
Meanwhile, John was the quietest one. He kept calm and even played a few melodies on his bass, to kill time. He thought it was just a light cut and he hoped it just lasted some minutes, or maximum, an hour.
All of them turned around, simultaneously. They finally adapted their eyes to the dark to realize each one of them was separated. Where were the others?

The Hound

65 parts Complete

Antique store owner Liz brings home a Victorian taxidermy hound from auction, unwittingly unleashing dark forces on her wife and son. ***** Nat Loman has finally married the love of her life, Liz, and is getting used to her role as stepmother to Liz's 5-year-old son, Liam. The Loman family runs a bustling antique business so they attend a sale where a striking, black taxidermied hound is up for auction. Liz picks it up for the business, but it ends up being stored in their home, where Nat notices strange things occurring. She quickly discovers the past residents had died violently. Then she hears from a friend about the myth of "the devil's dog", a hound that perches in the shadows, tearing families apart from the inside. Soon, people around the Lomans are dying, and Liz is changing, darkening. It's up to Nat to save the woman she loves from the darkness closing in, and to save Liam from danger no matter what she has to sacrifice.
