The October Game

This is from Shock SuspenStories #9. 

This is the big "finale" to my EC posts. Nothing's set in stone, of course, but at the time being this is it. So just in time for Halloween, it's EC's adaptation of Ray Bradbury's "The October Game". Enjoy...

That's the one thing in this that I've never bought. It appears less than a minute or two. It seems to be a fault of the comic's pacing, not the story's.

Here's how it's written in the original story.

The upper house was empty and silent in the candle-shine. Marion stood by the slide. 'Here we go,' he said, and picked her up.

They sat in a vast circle in the cellar. Warmth came from the distant bulk of the furnace.

Odd how two little dots can completely change the length of time between two sentences, eh?
