• The Grange by Andrew Favier: A seemingly normal meeting between old friends turns into a unreal meeting of the minds and causes tempers to flare, and the true meaning of life is tested.
• Spellcraft by Gary Eoff: A party with a bunch of millennials equals a chance encounter with someone unworldly, with deadly consequences

• Freezer Burn by Joe Grisaffi: When a son and his father try to keep the streets cleaned up, while keeping their business open, they bite off more than they can chew, with VERY interesting results.
• The Imp by Rhett Schall: A police officer, just trying to do his job, runs into some trouble on the rough streets, but doesn’t REALLY know who he’s dealing with....untill the end.
• Drive by Olivia Davis: When a young elementary school teacher is abducted in place of one of her students, we see her change the mindset of the kidnapper and how he continues his quest, with her instead of the young child.
