The Uninvited Guests

It is the eve of Emerald Torrington's birthday. The cake is iced, and the house gleams invitingly, but before the first dish can be served, a mysterious group of strangers arrives at the door. The Torringtons welcome them in, but as night falls, the family begins to wonder if there is something malevolent in their home.
