Something wicked this way comes.

LIFE ISN’T ALL sunshine and lollipops.  Oh no.  In fact, there are sections of it which are downright sinister.

The worst of these pockets of darkness are well-hidden too.  They seem harmless, like simple everyday items or occurrences, but really you know that they are out to get you.

Like these, for example.
