"ADVENTURE WANTED! Will go anywhere, do anything. Write BOX 13, c/o Star-Times."

This ad brought the usual assortment of crackpot responses, but more often than not brought Holiday more trouble than he bargained for, since he never found out the pertinent details until after he'd met the clients. He never charged a fee for his "services", because he was paid very well for the stories he wrote.

"You can help a person out of great trouble and gain an adventure for yourself if you call CHester-8945 and ask for Carla Williams." So reads a letter from Dan Holiday's first client: a blackmail victim who soon has him framed for murder!

Five improbable entities stuck together into a pit of darkness. No logic, no reason, no explanation; just a prolonged nightmare in which fear, loneliness and the unexplainable walk hand in hand through the shadows. In a moment we'll start collecting clues as to the whys, the whats and the wheres. We will not end the nightmare, we'll only explain it - because this is the Twilight Zone.
