Synopsis
There is so much joy to be found in the common, mundane, everyday routine, but what mystery and terror could be hiding there too? What if an innocent yard sale find could upend your world and terrorize your family? What if your new neighbor had a recurring date with the Grim Reaper? What if you got stuck reliving a day over and over, only to die horribly at the end of every day, and what if you shared that day with one other person... one other 2-year-old person? These strange and terrifying tales may have you looking at the ordinary world through new, extraordinary eyes.
