Chapter 1: A Straight Face

(TOMTORD, art by me.)
Tom spends each day in turmoil from this... thing inside his body. It's black and sticky and buried deep inside his core, waiting to shatter the thin wall of glass that separates itself from Tom. It doesn't care if Tom is upset or unhappy, all it wants to do is "fix" him.

Tom's going to need help if he wants this creature to leave him alone.

...Hey...

Tord knew about paranormal things, didn't he?
