Fischer
I moved to Crescent Bay to escape. Sometimes I feel like I've spent my whole life escaping and running. I'm not even sure what I've been running from. Shadows and ghosts, the kind that chase after you in nightmares. The unexplainable demons that never stop hunting you.
Eric
I moved to Crescent Bay because I had no choice. My stupid parents brought me here, and now my life is all about survival. New place, new school, new people. There's nowhere to hide. I'm the outsider, the easy target, the hunted. All I can do is try to blend in, by being like everyone else.
