Stories

  • Witch Hunt! · 7 pages

    A Hollywood TV producer is desperate to save his falling horror show and looks for real-life witches in Europe to use as a gimmick. In a small village he encounters a group of old ladies trying to kill a young girl, and he assumes that she is a witch, but it turns out the husbands of the old ladies are warlocks and kill the producer for interfering.

  • Look Out, Wyatt... Automation's Gonna Get Your Job! · 7 pages

    A miner who leads a group of men in underground tunnelling is worried that automatons will replace workers. When the company sends a robot down to help, he's convinced it's going to take his job. He destroys it, but a cave-in occurs. He can't be rescued because the robot was sent to dig trapped miners out of caved-in mine shafts, and he has just destroyed his means of rescue.

  • One Hungers · 7 pages

    In the prehistoric past, a mutant caveman is chased through the underground by his fellow cavemen, who want to destroy him. He hides behind a waterfall and feeds on the roaring sound. Eons later when the waterfall dries up, he explodes up into the surface world. In the modern day, a hippie couple stumble upon him. He is now a pulsating mass hiding in an abandoned home in the woods and desperately needs sound to feed on and pursues the couple. Just as he is about to shrivel up and die, the girl opens her mouth.
