Have you ever felt so lost? So confused? So scared? Have you ever experienced this amount of fear? Fear that your life is quickly coming to an end? Have you ever felt so cold and empty? Like no matter what, you would never be saved? Like you were floating in vast sea, the only living thing being you? And even then, were you really alive? Am I really alive? Or is this a dream? Some cruel nightmare that I might be able to wake up from? Or is this reality? Is this how I a doomed to spend the rest of my life? Wandering about an empty body of water with nothing in sight? If so, why? Why am I here? Why am I alone? What happened? What happened... to me?

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.
