"Have you seen the yellow sign?"

Nothing happens in Langville, Montana.

That used to be true. Since the death of my wife, things have gotten...strange.

Our small, mountain town was quiet, and we rarely got visitors.

Now we get at least one visitor who goes door to door—practically every night. This stranger's got something to sell, a computer that'll open us up to the modern conveniences of the world. Or, at least, that's what he claims.

But something my neighbor told me has me bothered. A question the stranger asked her husband before he brought that wretched machine across the threshold.

"Have you seen the yellow sign?"

Why does that question bother me? And why...why does it remind me of my late wife?

The Stranger is an epistolary cosmic horror tale, the second in the OEI Files anthology series, and is a new take on one of the most famous entities in Lovecraftian horror, The King in Yellow.
