Night to Day

There isn't much distance

between this world, and any other.

It's a lot of work to cross between them,

but they aren't that far apart.

Worlds of darkness, of decay, of death.

Worlds of pure oblivion, and those of pure nightmare

are woven together.

Take a wrong turn, and you could step into

one of those unknown and deadly places.

If you stop, wherever you are,

and try to focus on the edges of your own vision,

you might spot something.

A shape, a form.

It might be one of us,

for only a moment, as your world lines up with ours.

Sometimes, as if out of a nightmare,

something will come through.

By accident, by chance, one of us screaming into your world.

But if one of us knows how to cross over,

and intends to,

a creature of night coming to stand proud and tall

in the land of the day,

then all of you will have quite a lot to fear.

- Oh. - Chris, Christie!

What the fuck are you doing?

Get your ass back in here!

Justin, Justin, fuck me.

Harder, harder Justin, oh yeah.

Oh, yeah, oh!

Justin, ah, fuck me harder, ah, Justin!

Ooh, harder.

Hey, you straight?

You good, bruh?

Oh, it's all good.

Hey just back up before I blast you, fool.

Help yourself.

Oh shit, where it at bruh?

Where could it be?

Hey, I was just playin' with you.

Where could it be?

I was just playing.

Chill, bruh.

Can I help you, miss?

Oh, I'm not.

I was just, um.

Jesus tap fucking Christ.

Didn't someone set up a perimeter?

Ma'am, can I ask what you're doing here?

Okay, that's not overly fucking helpful.

How 'bout I get a name, occupation, place of residence?

Some fucking explanation of what you're doing

walking into a crime scene?

Fuck's sake, Garrett, cut the girl some slack.

She's probably having a pretty rough day right about now.

Thanks for that, good cop.

See, that's good cop.

And that makes me the bad cop.

Now that you've met both of us,

now it's time to make with some answers.

My name is Rebecca, Rebecca DeChance.

I live downtown, by the river, near the armory.

I was just out for a walk.

What's with the bag?

I like to pack a lunch.

Did this man die today, or has it been longer?

You can read all about it

when we get the press release out, but until then,

would you be a doll and not talk to anybody about this?

Unless there's something you wanna tell us.

No, no, this is the first time I've seen this.

Well, you've got a strong stomach

for this being your first time.

If you think of anything to tell us, reach me here.

Off you go, Rebecca DeChance.

Hey!

Stay safe now.

Hello ladies and gentlemen, this is Tanya Steel,

"Action News," where we are the story.

I'm coming to you live from the site of a grisly murder

that has captured the attention of the entire nation.

Policeman Shirley Garrett

is in charge of this investigation.

Shirley, what can you tell us about this horrible crime?

That's Detective Garrett, and uh...

What we have here is decapitation

by a single stroke of a sharp object,

probably a machete or a sword.

Do you suspect a martial arts enthusiast?

Is this perhaps the work of a reclusive ninja,

or the graduate of some modern gladiator training program?

Of course we can only speculate at this time,

but what is clear from the disposition of the body,

yes, it's clear that this murder happened suddenly,

catching the victim by surprise.

And what can you tell us about the victim?

The victim was an out of work construction worker.

His family has been notified of his demise.

We have no further information

that will help establish a motive in this killing.

Have you determined that this is not,

in fact, a ritualized occult killing?

How did you know that?

At "Action News," we are the story.

Now, we don't wanna cause any sort of panic.

No, we love panics.

But we suspect that more killings like this will occur.

We urge citizens to stay indoors whenever possible,

and to always travel with friends.

Report anything suspicious to local law enforcement.

Spooky.

And from us at "Action News," this is Tanya Steel,

and y'all stay safe out there.

Crazy time to be alive now, huh?

- So you're Rebecca, right? - Right.

I'm Christie, I'm your neighbor.

Nice to put a name to the face.

- Christie? - Yeah, that's right.

So you're up late hours, huh?

I guess that's because my boyfriend and I kinda keep you up?

Sorry about that.

Yeah, you guys seem to fight all the time.

Yeah, that's us.

Don't be too hard on Justin, huh?

He really is a sweet guy.

Just a little intense sometimes.

That's why I fell for him.

Got my lady hard-on for the intense bad boys,

you know, right?

I do.

Well, I never see anybody in your apartment.

Oh my gosh, I'm sorry.

That sounded really bad.

It's all right, it's fine.

Well, forgive me if I'm overstepping,

but if you'd like to change that, you know,

have a guy around,

you should come out with us tonight.

I know a guy, just your type.

My type?

Trust me, I got an eye for this kind of thing.

You see those creeps over there?

I'll see you at the Frog Hole tonight?

Yeah, sounds good, I gotta run.

Hey.

Aha ha ha ha!

Who that?

What the fuck is this?

Help me, help me!

And here she is.

That is a cute top.

And speaking of cute tops, this is Cameron.

You must be Rebecca.

Oh, Christie tells me you're

A practitioner of a very dull and boring profession.

Yes, I am an insurance adjuster.

Please, do your best to keep your hands off me.

Once she hears how much that boring ass job pays,

she's gonna have to try her best to keep her panties dry.

Well Rebecca, what are you into?

What kind of things do you like to do?

I'm sort of in between things right now.

I'm kinda into, I do kinda arts and crafts.

Okay, well let me go get a couple drinks for us,

and we'll talk about it when I get back, okay?

Okay, can I deliver, or can I deliver?

He's nice.

Where'd you find him?

I met him through a client,

but don't let that intimidate you.

He's one of the good ones.

To be honest, it's nice to have someone, you know,

introduced to you?

It's been hard to find someone on my own.

So what's all this I hear about arts and crafts?

I didn't know you got up to anything

in that old apartment of yours.

You into old world stuff?

Very old world.

No one's seen it, though.

It's my, my work's not ready for the general public.

Well, that is awesome.

Girl, I am so jealous of creative types.

I'm completely useless with my hands,

outside of the service industry, that is.

Oh, here he is.

Cameron, your date for this evening

is just dying to tell you all about her art.

She has a passion for the aesthetic of the old world.

I'm all ears.

Who do you think will get here first,

forensics, the occultist, or that damn reporter?

That goddamn woman is like a fuckin' swamp rat.

Now, now, she is the story.

It's our fault for being in her way.

Course we would have to pull a psycho demon worshiper.

Or demon.

What, is that supposed to be funny?

Hardly.

I'd prefer a demon to a human that could do this.

Demon's easier to figure out.
