The darkness is growing stronger, and the feel of malice and danger around them heavier as the Dark gathers itself for another blow. The door may be closed, but the burning light is fallen away There is nothing now between it and the children and their greenhouse but a familiar and hated presence that radiates a power which the Dark knows as almost akin to its own.

The deadly weight of madness grows suddenly heavier, pressing them to the ground, and gibbering voices shriek all around them and tear at sanity as the Dark lashes out in full force toward the children and the fallen woman--

--and toward Adam Young.
