The Man-Thing finds himself drawn to the emotions that are coming from a funeral being held for Edmond Windshed. Attending the funeral is his parents, uncle, aunt, grandmother, gym teacher, and classmates. However when Alice Rimes (Edmond's classmate and only friend) interrupts the eulogy to call them all on how horribly the treated Edmond, she is violently removed by Edmond's uncle. However she is saved by the Man-Thing which is drawn by the violent emotions and burns Edmond's uncle and Alice manages to escape. The next day, Alice takes an essay written by the late Edmond to have it published in the schools newspaper. The essay inside is Edmond's life story where he talks about how he was always treated poorly because of his weight and how his gym teacher ultimately caused his death by pushing him to hard and literally making Edmond run to death. Believing that it's all lies perpetuated by Alice, the gym teacher calls in the Windshed clan to confront her. As they are about to burn Edmond's memoirs, the Man-Thing arrives and attacks them all. Each victim gives into their fears and is burned and killed in a fitting epitaph to their behavior to Edmond. After the attacks end, the Man-Thing walks off again into the swamp. This story is continued in Man-Thing #17...
