Revolutions of Terror (comic story): Difference between revisions

The day before [[Halloween]], and the annual [[Day of the Dead]] celebration by Mexicans, [[Gabby Gonzalez|Gabby]] is working at her [[Miguel Gonzalez|father]]'s [[Laundromat (Revolutions of Terror)|laundromat]] together with her friend, [[Cindy Wu|Cindy]], when the tumble dryers go haywire. Gabby sees a sort of monster-like shadow coming out of the machines, but it evaporates just as [[Hector (Revolutions of Terror)|Hector]] walks in stunned by the sight of wet clothes and water everywhere.

Later that day, while Gabby is having an argument with her family and Hector, her sister's fiancé, in the kitchen of their restaurant, "[[The Castillo Mexicano]]". At the same time, the [[Tenth Doctor|Doctor]] orders some food from her [[Blanca Gonzalez|sister]]. Before he can eat it, he dashes out of the restaurant after receiving a signal on a device of his. Shortly afterwards, [[Fernanda (Revolutions of Terror)|Gabby's grandmother]] claims to have seen her [[Juan (Revolutions of Terror)|deceased husband]]'s soul writhing in agony in a photograph of him. Hector also sees it for a moment and later is accosted by a monstrous figure with horns and hooves.

In the city, while following the signal, the Doctor sees people running away screaming in horror for no apparent reason. He sees [[Carlos (Revolutions of Terror)|a baby]] become suddenly disfigured in front of his [[Carlos' mother|mother]] and her friends, before abruptly reverting to normal when the Doctor's device registers a strong signal. The Doctor advises the mother to lock herself and the baby in their apartment for several days.
