Sign of The Whale
Eli's on a long journey when he gets stuck in a small coastal village and has to wait out the night in the town watering hole. But there's something odd about the locals, not to mention a secret in the back room. Shame Eli isn't picking up on the barkeep's warnings...things could get out of hand. An homage to H.P. Lovecraft's "The Shadow Over Innsmouth."

The Sunken Convent
A man wakes up, he goes to work, he eats in, he does a bit of home surgery, he drives to the woods. Told without words and loosely inspired by the tale by Hans Christian Andersen, 'The Sunken Convent' is a grotesque and slightly surreal story of bad habits.

The Hag Stone
A girl discovers a hag stone, a stone with a hole worn in it by the sea, which legend says allows the owner to look through the hole and see other worlds.
