I have been looking through the packet of papers that Jesse slipped to me shortly before he was arrested. The ones that come from the vault in the library. They were much more faded when he first gave them to me, I remember I could barely read them. They've grown sharper now, clearer. And they speak of an evil in Derry, an evil that has come and gone many times before. An evil, that feeds on children. And his description of Derry as a haunt keeps coming back to me. All the different meanings of the word.
