People have a nasty habit of dying when he's around. More often than not, people of the female persuasion, although women certainly don't hold the monopoly on pissing him off. But trouble is looming as this time she was a feisty one and managed to gouge a good chunk of skin off his ass with her fingernails, which was a major inconvenience (and quite sore, too) Still, being a resourceful and intrepid sort, a little setback like this is just the kind of challenge his character thrives on. He decides it may be time for a sabbatical, somewhere remote, somewhere where the populations is sparse enough that he will be able to keep himself out of mischief, perhaps even somewhere where he could make a bit of cash. Somewhere like Alaska, obviously. Darla, the frustrated, lead detective in charge of finding him is perplexed when the killings suddenly stop. As relieved as she is that the streets seem to be a little safer, she realizes that he pulled out in the nick of time - one more murder and they would have had him. He certainly knows about practicing safe killing.Fate, however is a whimsical beast, and neither our intrepid, bear-framing psychopath nor the sexy Darla could possibly foresee that a simple series of coincidences, and one very pissed off lady, would tie the whole thing up with a neat little bow. Or at least, a roll of wire. Things are not going to end well. But for whom?

Not everybody gets to have super powers. But then again, not everybody discovers a voodoo doll stashed away at the top of their closet. And even the few who do discover a voodoo doll stashed away at the top of their cupboard probably never stop to wonder what would happen if they put their own name into it. I mean, that's just insane, isn't it? Like running with scissors, or poking a sleeping bear. Steven is not an irresponsible boy, and is in fact vehemently opposed to poking bears, sleeping or otherwise. In his defence, how was he to know it was a voodoo doll, he thought it was just a very awesome action figure. With a pink pin in its chest. And the name Kyle Moorehouse wedged into his back.Curiously though, Kyle Moorehouse was the previous owner of this house, and, even more curiously, was also the person found dead on the kitchen floor. Coincidence? Or murder? Steven may just have poked the bear without even knowing it.
