Fear. It's the most basic, the most human emotion. As kids, we're afraid of everything. The dark...the boogeyman under the bed... And we pray or morning. For the monsters to go away.
Though they never do. Not really. Just ask Jason Blossom.
Another fun fact about fear. Sometimes it grows up with you. Or it curls up inside of you, tightens around your guts. Each fall, Riverdale High hosts a Variety Show. But this event is no mere student frolic.
Here's the thing about fear. It's always there.
Fear of the unknown, fear of facing it alone...
Fear that those closest to you are the monsters.
Fear that as soon as you slay one, there's another monster waiting to take its place.
Fear that there's one more boogeyman waiting at the end of the dark hall.
She was out there. Alone, bereft, unmoored... Where was she going? And what would she do next?
