It was a parent’s worst nightmare come true when the Wesenbergs lost

their little son Ted one Sunday afternoon. Unfortunately, it happened

in a place that was supposed to be the safest for the family, where nothing should have gone wrong, yet everything did.

The Wesenbergs found Ted dead in their swimming pool. His body was

floating like a pool float, and Paul Wesenberg had dived into the water

to save his son, but it was too late—neither his mouth-to-mouth

nor the paramedics he’d dialed could bring his son back.

Linda Wesenberg couldn’t bear the sorrow of losing her son, and she sat as pale,

numb, and motionless as her late son at his funeral. Then as a week

went by without Ted in the Wesenberg household, things turned chaotic,

brutal even, and so harsh that little Clark couldn’t stand it…

Linda and Paul were consumed by grief after losing their son, Ted,

and began blaming each other. Their constant fighting distressed Clark,

who missed his brother deeply. One evening, overwhelmed by their arguments,

Clark ran away to Ted’s grave, crying, “I miss you, Ted. Please come back.”

At the cemetery, Clark shared his pain, feeling ignored by his parents.

“Nobody plays football with me,” he lamented. After hours of crying,

he felt peace, but his solitude was interrupted by mysterious men in black robes.

“See who has arrived in our dark kingdom!” one shouted as they trapped him.

Clark was scared when a group of robed men confronted him at the cemetery,

but a man named Mr. Bowen intervened, saying, “Don’t worry, boy.

These boys won’t do anything. They’re worse than kids!” Mr. Bowen took Clark to his cabin,

where Clark shared how his parents’ constant arguing since Ted’s death made him feel unwanted.

At home, Linda realized Clark was missing. “Where’s Clark?” she panicked,

calling Paul but getting no answer. Remembering he’d gone to the cemetery,

she urgently told Paul, “Clark isn’t home yet! Drive to the cemetery now!” They rushed there, hoping to find him.

Paul and Linda rushed to the cemetery, calling for Clark, but found no sign of him.

They noticed a group of teens in black robes performing a ceremony. Paul asked,

“Is it possible you saw this boy here?” One boy, Chad, explained,

“Mr. Bowen grabbed him. He lives right outside the cemetery.”

At Mr. Bowen’s cottage, Clark opened up about his pain, and Mr. Bowen advised,

“They still adore you, little boy.” Hearing this, Paul and Linda rushed inside,

apologizing, “I’m so sorry, honey!” Grateful, they thanked Mr. Bowen,

who became a close friend, helping the family heal from Ted’s loss.
