Story: 

In the large city of Titanboa, USA, lives a peaceful neighborhood. Every middleclass family lives a quiet and most normal live, 315 houses stand in neat rows. But in the middle of the 16th row stands an empty spot, where should be a house. Nobody knows why no house was build there, nor why there still can’t be build one. But it remains unbothered and nobody even thinks twice about why the empty space is empty.

Kids don’t dare to play on the field, no mother picknicks there, no father plays baseball with his son.

In 1989, strange things started to happen in the neighborhood. Cars will turn other directions, toys in the front yard will disappear and small earthquakes scared the normal people of Titanboa.

On the night of December 29, the Earth shook once again, but loud, drawing people out of their homes.

The empty spot was filled by a strange statue. A head of a giant snake, as if it lived under the grounds, stood there, beak wide open. When it drew the attention of nearly all neighbors, the giant snake drew a mysterious light in its eyes and mouth, hypnotizing the neighbors to enter his beak.

The following day, news broke out that all 1264 neighbors of the suburbs disappeared without a trace.

For the following years the government tried to find out about the disappearances but failed every attempt. The beak of the snake remains closed until this day…
