=Quotes=
"I drew it, of course. Looks a little like Audrey, don't you think?"
"Nothing. The mayor doesn't control us."
"Hmm.. I seem to remember. There were rumors back then. I think it was... in 1985. The one who got away. Nobody knows who it was though."
"Hmm... the only talk about that I can remember is... that the darkness that was released into this town. But that was a very long time ago. Of course... well... I guess it could also be talking about how the darkness wasn't so... well dark. Until some time ago."
