Summary
It came seventeen years ago—and to this day
It has shown no intention of going away.The world is full of far more horrific things that go bump (or crunch) in the night than humans will probably ever realize. If a few residents of a single house cannot manage to do anything other than provoke such forces, surely that need be no one's concern but their own. However, in a remarkable stroke of good fortune, one short, furry being—with a partiality for white tennis shoes—decides to take upon itself the onus of looking after a certain hapless family.
Or, for every inconvenience the Doubtful Guest causes the household, it saves them from something far worse.

—Captain Annorax, "Year of Hell: Part 2"Or, Silver gets stuck on one hell of an assignment.
