The family dines in comfort, completely oblivious as to the horrors that await them. A cold draft is felt by all as an uneasy presence enters the room. A prolonged shadow is cast upon the table. Undeterred by the alarmed facial expressions of his family Peter continues his meal. Lois attempts to summon the courage to inform her husband of the equine beast that towers menacingly behind him. The empty gaze of the foul creature pierces deep into her soul but it appears to look straight through her as if she didn’t exist at all.
“Peter.” The silence around the table shattered. Peter glances up but can detect the tremor of fear in the voice of his spouse. The fork containing his meal hangs mere inches before his mouth, a clear sign that Lois should hurry up with her point lest the attention span of Peter dissipates. Thinking that Lois is about to begin another mundane story about shopping for groceries Peter glances back to his plate. Lois quickly blurts out the only thing she can think to accurately describe the scene before her.
