Sinister Tales #221

In "Why?", a young boy named Baby Billy Bailey begins refusing to sleep through the night at just 13 months old—his sudden wakefulness proving to be the quiet alarm that saves his parents from a house fire they might have otherwise never noticed.

In "The Hidden Hex!", a farmer stubbornly refuses to let hex symbols be painted on his land, only to find his crops failing and misfortune piling up. When his hired hand takes matters into his own hands, he cuts the fields into a hidden symbol—hoping to turn the tide of bad luck.
