The Evil Inside

This project is believed to be defunct. (October 2012)

About

Theme: Stories that instill a feeling of dread or foreboding. Something evil is contained, but someone releases it by accident. Feel free to explore different avenues. Is evil contained in an abandoned factory? How about a shoebox at the top of Grandma’s closet, or the new kid on the block? How does it get released, and what happens thereafter.
