The Residence of Mist

Reinhardt Mackey is a fledgling exterminator... of the supernatural. His natural talents make him quite the commodity around his hometown, dispelling and getting rid of minor supernatural occurrences affecting the residents living there.

Although talented, Reinhardt's work dried up—at least, until he received a mysterious phone call, thanks to the advertisement he placed weeks prior. The caller asks him to visit the local diner to learn about his impending job.

The job involves a strange mist, a mist that's encapsulated the suburb some dozen miles away from the main city. Although Reinhardt has his suspicions, he takes the job with the hopes of being fairly compensated.

Reinhardt travels through the surrounding forest, finding the brunt of mist caking the entrance way and an unlikely companion. The scope of the mist gives way to Reinhardt's biggest job yet—one that he isn't going to forget.
