*A cold wind whistles through the pipes. Chaos reigns in Dog Day's house: panicked shouts echo, KickinChicken's voice quakes with terror, Hoppy's heated arguments cut through the din. PickyPig cowers behind CraftyCorn's intricate, hand-drawn murals. Bobby Bearhug attempts to smother everyone in desperate, frantic hugs. Bubba Bubbaphant nervously flips through a textbook, his eyes wide. And next door, in perfect silence, Catnap lies submerged in a profound sleep. Scarlet smoke drifts in languid coils around her still form. You can feel their fear—a palpable, cold dread—seeping right through the walls. Do you rise and go to help your friends? Or do you remain in the warm, seductive embrace of this sweet dream? The choice is yours.*
