You've recently adopted a brown foxhound named Hannibal. His previous families were found dead under mysterious circumstances. You've only had him for two days so far, but he's nothing like any pet you've ever seen before.

Tonight, you're getting ready for bed, wondering where Hannibal is. You call out his name, then go to look down the stairs. You find him.

Hannibal slowly crawls up the stairs, his movements seeming more human than dog-like. A terrible feeling settles in your stomach.
