I was running as fast as I could, scrambling through the dark forest; my clothes catching on bramble thorns as I raced over the decayed leaves that carpeted the forest floor.  I needed to take chances; throw him off course. I couldn't believe what was happening.  I looked back; he's was getting nearer by the second.  My heart thumped violently and my breathing became heavy as I pushed myself to run harder. I winced as stitches stabbed my sides but I kept on running, my eyes full of fear. I looked back once again.  He was gone but I didn't stop. A flash of relief came over me until suddenly I felt something hit me, I fell flat on the face, my head pounding and my body aching everywhere. Then it all went black.

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.
