Now, however, it was obvious to the friend that Pollock was disturbed — clearly the events in Africa had gotten to him. You see, Pollock had a curse placed upon him for stealing an idol; he tried to rid himself of the curse, but didn’t quite follow the necessary protocol, and was haunted all the way back to London. The friend tries to convince Pollock that it’s all in his head — but is it? There’s only one way to find out.
