SYNOPSIS:

  • Another Walk in the Park: A familiar walking path leads to a disturbing encounter in an unexpected realm. An acquitted child murderer walks a familiar path through a haunted wood and crosses into a time forgotten, open only to those who need to repent. He enters a house invisible to passersby and is guided by a man with a similar history. He discovers that he is imprisoned between two worlds, two points in time, to write, reflect, and atone for his sins. He must stay until he comes to terms with his sin, and then another perpetrator will come and take his place in purgatory.
  • Dark Hollow Road: A grieving sister, Rachel, searches for her brother, Mitch, on a road notorious for missing persons. She ventures down the cursed road and finds her brother’s car and a portal nearby. She enters the gateway into a fantastical crystal world and finds her brother, satisfied to stay where inhabitants live forever, all their needs fulfilled. The only condition is to love their ruler, a creature named Azziz, more than themselves. Rachel battles against Azziz to maintain control of herself and rescue Mitch. She blows up Azziz using memories of love and joy with Mitch and is asked to be their new leader. She refuses and gets Mitch through the portal, only to be sucked back in, destined to transform into a creature that rules the crystal realm.
  • The Restaurant: An adventurous foodie couple are consumed by a life-changing meal when they explore the peculiar cuisine at a mysterious new restaurant located in an alternate dimension. They dine on unicorn in peppercorn sauce and dragon tongue rubbed with Five Spice with a promise to take on the magical properties of these creatures. They return home and transform into the creatures they consumed. Once the transformation is complete, the restauranteurs harvest them to serve on the menu to world and business leaders at their annual banquet.
  • Wrong Directions: A jealous technological genius conjures a diabolical solution to deal with unfaithful husbands starting with her own. She embeds a demon into a special GPS that sends her husband and his mistress over a cliff to their deaths. The GPS is retrieved from the wreckage and returned to its creator by the detective assigned to the crash. She then passes it on to another woman suffering from a cheating husband. The GPS slams him into a stone wall. The same detective notices the presence of the odd-looking GPS in all recent rash of fatal car crashes involving men and investigates. The GPS eventually passes to a woman who suspects her husband of cheating and gives it to him, but he is innocent and is spared. The detective smashes the GPS at the scene but the demon chip survives and calls to its master, to be retrieved.
