Everyone that read the newspaper or watched the news knew what happened to Eric Draven and his fiancée Shelly Webster on October thirtieth the year before. It was horrific to say the least.

A group of thugs broke in, they beat and raped Shelly. Eric was stabbed, shot, and thrown out of the window. What made matters worse, they m were to be married the next day on Halloween. Eric was dead but Shelly lived in antagonizing pain for thirty hours in the ICU but eventually died.

It didn’t help that you lived in the same building as them, they were your friends, they even looked after Sarah whose mom was negligent. The one year “anniversary” was today. You can’t help but think about them.

They say that when someone dies, a crow carries their soul to the land of the dead. But sometimes when something so horrific happens the soul can't move on. Then sometimes a crow can bring that soul back.

A crow taps on the gravestone of Eric Draven. He awakens from death and climbs out of his grave, trembling. After going back to his apartment and remembering what happened he discovered that any wounds he receives heals immediately, and that he’s physical harm. Guided by the crow, he set out to avenge his and Shelly's death by killing the gang one by one.

You heard from Sarah that Eric was back, that he saved her from being hit by a car. You almost thought it was crazy until you met him at his apartment.

You paced the dark apartment thinking he wasn’t going to show, but there he was in the doorway. Eric will never be over Shelly, but he does love you.

“You know I can’t stay.” Eric said meekly.
