Page 1:
First Panel: An overhead view of Bute University Campus (as one might see if they were a hork flying past). A torn paper caption reads "The night was dark. A distant storm rose in the distance." Second Panel: The view moves closer to the Timpteron Clocktower. The time reads a few minutes to midnight. The caption continues, "If it wasn't my last night I might have appreciated the weather more. As it was, other things occupied my attention." Third Panel: The view is of the clock face, the three arms of the clock are clearly in motion. There is a smudgy silhouette showing in the luminescent face of the clock. Fourth Panel: A burnfly lands on the face of the clock. Fifth Panel: A hand smashes the burnfly. Sixth Panel: The hand withdraws showing burnfly guts oozing down the glass. Seventh & Eighth Panels: The view is of the observation platform in front of the clock face showing a man naked except for a vorpcara. The man is staring at his hand. There is a large Luminous manuscript in his lap and there are ritual torches behind him.
Page 2:
First – Fourth Panels: The man wipes the bug off his hand but there is a shadow near with a hint of motion. Fifth & Seventh Panels: Detail of the book showing the last line from the previous page:"…occupied my attention. The thing I had to insure was that the secret of the Tower would never escape its stony confines. I must insure that the darkness that now grips my spirit will be isolated forever." Sixth & Eighth Panels: The same page darkened by a shadow.
Page 3:
First Panel: The man's face, his eyes looking to the side. Second Panel: A gloved fist in motion. Third Panel: The man sprawled on the observation deck. Fourth Panel: A dark figure says, "Are you sure you are that desperate for company?" Fifth – Eighth Panels: The view is from behind the man looking up at the hero Burnflyman
