6:15 p.m.

The computer then cut to an 8-bit game that had become too familiar to Kylie. Only this time, things were different.

She had to play as herself.

As Kylie sat bewildered at her pixelated form, she found herself in the underground hallway. Hesitating at first, she nonetheless drove herself to move forward. She then came across the teal door Danny had encountered earlier. Kylie went inside the now unlocked door and got a glowing look at the bright red room inside. Inside the room lay the table with a collection of weapons on it.

At that moment, Jack Flynn, now a shadow person, materialized in front of Kylie's sprite.

HELLO, KYLIE. YOU KNOW ME, AND I KNOW YOU. IN 1958, I KILLED THREE PEOPLE. I NEEDED TO SACRIFICE THEM BECAUSE I WANTED TO TRANSCEND DEATH. THREE MORE DIED 30 YEARS LATER. THOSE THREE NEEDED TO DIE SO I COULD CONTINUE TO EXIST. 30 YEARS AFTER THAT, THOUGH, ONLY ONE PERSON DIED IN THIS HOUSE- JASON PORTER. BECAUSE ONLY ONE PERSON DIED LAST YEAR, I AM IN DANGER OF FADING AWAY FOR GOOD. THAT IS WHY I HAVE CAPTURED YOUR FAMILY AND WILL KILL THEM. HOWEVER, THERE IS A CATCH. IF YOU CAN BEAT ME, I WILL LET THEM GO. I SERIOUSLY DOUBT THAT WILL HAPPEN, THOUGH. BUT WHO DOES NOT LOVE A GOOD GAME?

Kylie sat, astonished and terrified. Her house was a center for all of this madness all this time. Still, she brought herself to proclaim,

"Come at me, bro."
