He had fled from the terrors of his past, finding refuge in the quietness of the island. And for a time he lived in peace. Until the sightings began, visions of horror seeping into his mind like poisonous tendrils, violent acts that were hideously macabre, the thoughts becoming intense.

A creature that would eventually come to the island to seek him out.
