THE LOT: Desecration part 2

THE LOT: The Reunion — Chapter Two

“Proverbs, chapter eleven, verse twenty-nine. He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind.“ In 1979, the American dream was playing out on morning TV game shows as Monty Hall would stand before a theater of screaming contestants dressed like fools, offering blind trades. Cash in hand for whatever was hiding behind Door Number One, Two, or Three. A game of casual choices... where nobody ever reads the contract or the consequences of playing—not unlike our cast of players in this little drama. Clara has just left the graduation party kitchen in blood-drenched ruins. Now, her sneakers are leaving a fresh crimson trail behind her. She isn’t just a contestant anymore, looking for a bargain. No, her agency has become something far darker than even she realizes. And as for Charlie and Karen? Well, they, my friends, are not just naked… they are naked to the world. Their fate, as it is with so many, was laid bare long before this reckoning. On a bed, wrapped in sheets, they are completely oblivious that they have become the prize—Clara’s prize behind door number three. They think they got away with a cheap high school betrayal. They have no idea... that Clara’s hand is already closing around the brass handle, and Monty Hall has just left the room. Charlie and Karen have stepped into an unholy, hidden dimension of a game where the rules are written in blood. This is a public episode.

THE LOT: The Reunion

Walnut Creek, June 1979. A graduation party is roaring down the canyon lane, but the road home for one young lady is about to turn ice cold. For other fools, those who walk this broad, easy road, are oblivious to the fact that their graduation night signature sins have been entered into a ledger. And are completely unaware that the interest on their sin is compounded in the shadows, the payment of which is due at the cost of blood or one’s own soul. This is a public episode.

THE LOT: Training Wheels Chapter 1

Before a high-speed impact on the wet asphalt leaving young 9 year old Julian Cross fighting for his life, a far more clinical violence was already taking place behind the closed doors of modern suburbia. He hadn’t just ridden into the dark—he was selected, isolated, groomed and then guided by a neighborhood coven to become their ultimate vessel. But every dark ceremony requires a catalyst. Enter Damian Vale. An arrogant, self-absorbed Hollywood elite driving a 1963 Riverside Red Split-Window Corvette, completely blind to the fact that his manic, midnight accident wasn’t an accident at all. He was never in control— no, he was simply the bumbling, unwitting pawn brought in to trigger a ceremonious rite of passage. This is a public episode.
