==Early Life==
Vic was born and raised in Haverhill, Massachusetts by her parents Linda McQueen and Chris McQueen. Mostly an outsider, Vic only had two notable friends growing up, Craig Harrison and Willa Brewster. However, she lost contact with the Willa after she was accepted into Exeter Academy.
==Story==
On 1986, 8-year-old Victoria “Vic” McQueen discovers that she can find lost things by riding her bicycle through a particular covered bridge near her home in Massachusetts. Although this "Shorter Way" Bridge always takes her to the location of whatever she is seeking, each trip exacts an increasing mental and physical toll on her. She has to lie about how she finds things because the truth would not be believed. On one such trip, she travels to an Iowa library where she meets Maggie Leigh, a librarian who can use Scrabble tiles to gain information about future events. Similar to using the Shorter Way, this divination process takes a toll on Maggie, causing a severe stutter. She warns Vic against Manx, whom she calls "the Wraith" after the model of car he drives because she does not know his name. Vic travels home, but loses her bike and develops a terrible fever. Manx enlists chemical plant worker Bing Partridge to steal a supply of gingerbread-scented sevoflurane anesthetic from his workplace. Manx has been taking the children he abducts to a place called "Christmasland" where they can be happy forever, and Bing assists him by using the sevoflurane (which he calls "gingerbread smoke") to incapacitate the children's parents before raping and killing them.
In 1996, 18-year-old Vic uses the Shorter Way to flee from home after a fight with her mother. She asks her estranged father if she can stay with him, but he rebuffs her. Vic follows the Shorter Way to Manx's house in Colorado, thinking that her abduction will hurt her mother. Upon arrival, she attempts to rescue a child locked in the back of the Wraith, only to find that he is apparently in league with Manx and has rows of sharp brown teeth and cold mist coming from his nose. She hides in Manx's house and barely escapes after setting it on fire. She runs into overweight motorcyclist Lou Carmody, who takes her to a gas station to call the police. Manx arrives at the same station to purchase gas and is captured by the police after he sets fire to a serviceman.
