Jeremy lurks at the ruins of the Tytus Mansion—a real structure in Tyringham, Massachusetts, which was built for Egyptologist Robb de Peyster in 1910 and burned down in the early 1950s, purportedly because of a mummy curse. Jeremy watches as three tourists take photos around the property. The site feels royal to Jeremy, which is why it’s perfect for his plan. He waits until sunset, when only one couple lingers. The man wants more selfies, but the woman is uneasy as darkness creeps in. As they leave, Jeremy shoots a crossbow arrow near the couple, which they assume is a bat. He then shoots the woman through the throat. The man panics, holds her as she dies, and then runs. Jeremy chases him, shoots him in the ankle, and bludgeons him to death with a rock.
Jeremy listens to the man take his final breaths and hears his death rattle. He first heard the death rattle from his third victim; he relishes the sound as the cusp of life and death. Afterward, he collects his crossbow bolts, uses his knife to carve something onto the female victim’s arm, and poses her, knowing that this will draw Wren out.
