Multiple eyewitness identified the assailant as a neighbor n the building, Colin Fearing: a m an who, but all reports, dead and buried ten days ago.

Coughing, sucking in air, D'Agosta staggered to his feet and ran wildly in the dark. After a moment he could here the man-thing scurrying after him, bare feet slapping the slimy stone floor.
Sounds like one helluva scary moment!
