Time is a scary thing. After you've experienced enough of it you start to lose your mind, eventually becoming an empty shell completely lacking in empathy. Have you ever thought about what it would be like to not have to worry about time? To exist forever? Everyone has thought about being immortal at least once, but does anyone really know what kind of effect that would have on ones mind? To see everything you love and care about die over and over knowing that no matter how hard you try, you'll never be able to see them again? It's quite a scary thought really, enough to drive you mad even. But what if someone that didn't deserve one life got infinite? What good would a prison sentence be if they'll never die?

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.
