Though Myra often questions her ability to distinguish between reality and her dreams, the whirlwind feels real, especially after her friend Tracy confesses that she has seen the whirlwind too and that she calls it 'the unknown'. The mansion where Myra lives is infamous as 'Vortex House' for somebody had disappeared there. Amidst her confusion and incessant fear, a stranger named Albert crosses ways with her.
