Early on in summer vacation from school, probably sometime in July, Brady and Marty go to the park to fly kites. As dinner time has come and gone, Marty's mother, Nan, sends Jane to find Marty. While Marty retreats for home before sunset and the rise of the full moon, Brady decides to stay in the park, in an attempt to defy his father. That night, Herb Kincaid goes to the pub to ask if anyone has seen Brady. Shortly thereafter, Sheriff Joe Haller finds Brady dead on the bandstand. At his funeral, Reverend Lester Lowe tells the congregation that the time of the Beast always passes.
