'SOMETIMES...DEAD IS BETTER'

The house looked right, felt right to Dr Louis Creed.

Rambling, old, unsmart and comfortable. A place where the family could settle;
the children grow and play and explore. The rolling hills and meadows of Maine
seemed a world away from the fume-choked dangers of Chicago.

Only the occasional big truck out on the two-lane highway, grinding up through
the gears, hammering down the long gradients, growled out an intrusive threat.

But behind the house and far away from the road: that was safe. Just a
carefully cleared path up into the woods where generations of local children
have processed with the solemn innocence of the young, taking with them their
dear departed pets for burial.

A sad place maybe, but safe. Surely a safe place. Not a place to seep into
your dreams, to wake you, sweating with fear and foreboding.
