PROLOGUE CHARACTERS
PROLOGUE CHARACTERS
It was two years ago that Henry Townshend
moved into Room 302 of South Ashfield
Heights, an apartment building in the mediumsized city of Ashfield. Henry was happy and
enjoying his new life.
But five days ago, something strange began to
happen. A recurring dream began to haunt him.
And there was one other thing...
HENRY TOWNSHEND
Henry is a calm, young
man who never lets his
feelings show.
By the time the story
begins, he has been locked
in his room for five
straight days. Suddenly,
a large hole appears in
his bathroom wall with no
reason or warning, and he
is dragged into the
depths of terror.
EILEEN GALVIN
Eileen is Henry’s next-door
neighbor, the young resident
of Room 303. She has a
kind personality, although
she has the tendency to
depend too heavily on
others at times. The
relationship between Eileen
and Henry is nothing more
than simple recognition of
one another, but they are
both dragged into a strange
set of events that will
change everything.
