Ah, yes, purgatory.  Kyder's whole life has been a purgatory. Or so it feels...
       What sins did he commit? Maybe it was the sins of what he saw.
       The thing is, he's not a Roman-Catholic. Honestly, he doesn't know what to believe in.
       Because he can't tell reality and fiction, truth and lies, imagination and monotony, apart.
       He's had it since he was born. He SEES things. Sometimes they're real...
       More recently, he finds that they're not. He's never gone for a diagnosis.
       He knows that schizophreniacs imagine things that aren't there, and they hear voices in their
       heads, but he doesn't see MONSTERS. 
       He sees realistic things. His instinct was to never tell his parents, or his neighbours, cousins, etc.
       Kyder Ileanne made sure he wasn't really friends with anyone either.
       After all, he didn't want anyone thinking he's crazy.
       HE ONLY SEES THINGS THAT ARE FAKE.
       THEY'RE NOT REAL.
        ... Or are they?

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.
