Ned Wells is a bit of a conspiracy nut, if truth be told. A bit of a reactionary. Wears a tinfoil hat. Hangs around with rejects. Is convinced that colonies of aliens are living in Roswell and Hitler is currently living in Antarctica, having escaped at the end of WWII in a submarine. That the government has a listening post in his backyard. He was weird enough to begin with, and then his father died, and then.... Someone started stalking him. Everyone wants to tell Ned what's wrong. Which means they're not listening when he tells them that this time, this time, someone really is out to get him. That this time it isn't in his imagination. That this time, the Boy Who Cried Wolf has a wolf in his bed.
