CHAPTER 7 - PAGE 16
(Transcript and visual captions below}

       The accident was a total mystery. Investigators would spend the day searching the overpass, under the bridge, and hunting through the brush-- looking for bodies. They would find nothing. Yet, that blood and wreckage! An expensive woman's hat, broken sunglasses, a couple horseshoes of all things... but no corpses. Just what had happened?

In which it's just a fixer-upper.

The great old structure creaked eerily in the stiff wind, and motes of dust billowed from long broken-out windows. Theodore and Jack stepped over piles of strange refuse buried in the thick grass, mementos from various eras when someone had attempted to renovate the crumbling estate. Five year old biscuit wrappers fluttered by, bleached by the sun into silvery moth wings. The building itself sagged under the weight of moldering beams and heavy vines that climbed its sides. How quickly things returned to the earth when they were let alone for too long.

I was working on this rather melancholy page today, when I found out that a person that I knew and liked had killed himself. He was an extremely smart and interesting young artist. I could really use some cheering up. Pictures of cute cats or stupid jokes anyone? I would really appreciate it.

On the less grim side of things, this is obviously a lead-in to the long awaited Theodore backstory part two! O.M.G. I hope you guys will like/be terrified by it.

             TRANSCRIPT: This is the text of the comic, for purposes such as translation and internet searches.

1.)

(Vitus pulls away from Angela's kiss.)

VITUS: Angela... no.

2.)

VITUS: I thought you were over that... You know it’s inappropriate, and this is not the time!

3.)

(Angela turns away, sobbing.)

VITUS: Now, explain to me what happened--

ANGELA: No! You hate me!

4.)

(Angela speeds away, invisible on the wind. Vitus puts a hand on his head in frustration.)

VITUS: Oh Lord, don’t make me chase her...

5.)

(Theodore swings on a swing, in an overgrown garden.)

6.)

(Jack approaches through the brush, Theodore smiles at him.)

JACK: No one uses a phone anymore...

THEODORE: There you are, friend.

7.)

JACK: Why do you like such creepy places?

8.)

(Theodore's eyes glow in the dark as he smiles.)

THEODORE: It’s a bit ramshackle now, but this used to be a fine estate. Though it was the site of many murders, including my own, so I see what you mean.

9.)

(Theodore offers his hand to Jack.)

THEODORE: Jack, you are such a carefree fellow, but I’m afraid this is a serious matter.

JACK: I am?

THEODORE: Come, take my hand.

10.)

THEODORE: There now, don’t be scared! We are friends!

11.)

(Theodore leads Jack through the garden, looking wistful. Jack is hesitant and nervous.)

THEODORE: I was feeling a bit lonely here, by myself. How funny, it never bothered me before.

12.)

THEODORE: We used to walk like this... My last friend and I.

13.)

THEODORE: In this very place, before we had to leave. I never returned here before now.

14.)

THEODORE: I’m worried for you. I don’t want you to become like me.

JACK: Huh?

THEODORE: I see it happening. With every cruel act, they destroy part of you.

15.)

THEODORE: Let me tell you a story----but I’m afraid it is not a nice one...
