A psychological horror narrative where a childhood nightmare bleeds into reality, driving a man to confront both his mortality and a captive.
A boy in bed thinks something’s escaped the cellar. Suddenly, a deformed face looms over the boy with a harrowing scream. This bad dream is remembered by a man as he shaves, making him cut his neck. As he bleeds, he wonders "How many shaving cuts would it take to bleed to death?" He decides his guest locked downstairs needs a shave.
