CALLBACK

BY MIG WINDOWS

Melinda, a small town Caucasian actress and director, had her career jump-started when she played "Juliet" at the her local Repertory theatre twenty years ago. But everything changes for her when Ruby, the African-American actress who was originally slated to play that role, shows up 20 years later... after her death, and Melinda's true colors are revealed.

BY ESMERALDA HERNANDEZ

Sybil is a sixteen year old girl who just recently lost her brother, Drake after he got shot in the back under mysterious circumstances. On her way to pay her respects to her late brother at the cemetery, Sybil runs into Sam and Luke, a pair of bullies who harass her and try to verbally hurt her using her brother’s death. Unfortunately for this pair of bullies, Sybil’s late brother may not be as dead as they thought. Drake returns from the grave to destroy anyone who has ever caused harm to his sister, or whoever intends to. However, there’s more to Drakes new found condition and Sybil may have something to do with it using a black magic item known as a SOUL PUPPET.

DIGGUM

BY ISAAC THORNE

When personal tragedy strikes, some men pray. Other men despair. This man goes to war.

Meet Diggum, the local graveyard caretaker, who lives in a small cottage at the edge of the lot. Diggum has spent most of his life angry with God, whom he blames for the devastating house fire that cost Diggum his family.

But Diggum has a secret. It is a secret he will carry to his own grave.

His story is one of rage and revenge. At some point in our lives, we all ask the "why" question. Diggum demands an answer.

SREDNI VASHTAR

BY PJ. CORMACK

A sickly child named Conradin is raised by his aunt and guardian, Mrs De Ropp, who "would never... have confessed to herself that she disliked Conradin, though she might have been dimly aware that thwarting him 'for his good' was a duty which she did not find particularly irksome". Conradin rebels against his aunt and her choking authority. He invents a religion in which his pole-cat ferret is imagined as a vengeful deity, and Conradin prays that "Sredni Vashtar" will deliver retribution upon De Ropp. When De Ropp attempts to dispose of the animal, it attacks and kills her. The entire household is shocked and alarmed, but Conradin calmly butters another piece of toast.
