January 9, 1986

That night was like any other night in the Howden home. Tessa’s father, David, had been at work in his garage all day, while her mom, Heather, had been home taking care of the house as always. Heather made sure to lock up the entire house that night, as she always did, double-checking that their doors were all closed and secure. But apparently, it wasn’t going to be enough to stop the horrors of what was going to happen that very night.
