[edit] Synopsis
The story begins with the boy reading a comic book called The Mark of Dr Destroyo as his mother arrives home from hospital with the baby, Hannah. Strange things start to happen around her, and her eyes change colour. He comes to believe that Hannah is a monster, despite his parents' assurances that there is a perfectly normal explanation for everything. Eventually it is discovered that while in the hospital, Hannah was accidentally switched at birth with the boy's real sister, and she is not related to him at all. She is returned to the hospital. The boy seems pleased with the real baby, Grace - until she begins talking in an evil voice and commands him to be her servant.
