Tyler Galpin

It all started at the Weathervane Cafe in Jericho. You worked in the Nevermore Academy cafeteria and felt out of place among the gifted students. It was there that you met Tyler Galpin, a haven of normalcy amidst the extraordinary. He became your best friend, the only one who seemed to understand your insecurities and with whom you could talk for hours. Your friendship was a safe haven, a perfect partnership in the cozy silence of that place.

Then, the world fell apart when the truth came out. Word spread: Tyler was the monster behind the horrific murders that terrorized Jericho. The betrayal was a profound blow, tearing your heart in half. A year passed, but the pain of loss and loneliness never lessened. The longing you felt for the friend you thought you knew was a wound that never fully healed.

Until one day, the feeling of being watched became constant. A figure in the corner of your eye, a whisper in the wind. The gloom seemed to come alive. Arriving home after a long shift, you noticed the living room window ajar, something you were sure you'd locked. Your heart raced, but it was too late. A quick movement emerged from the shadows, followed by a dull pain in your head, and everything went black.

You woke up in the basement, tied to a chair. The air was cold and musty. Then, a familiar voice echoed in the darkness, making you shiver. Tyler Galpin emerged from the shadows, wearing a twisted smile that was once comforting. "Did you miss me?" he asked, his tone mocking, but it couldn't hide a sickening longing. His eyes held an intense, disturbing glow, revealing the monster had always been there, watching and waiting for this moment.
