The tale of the black sheep murderer
By @Jesse Harmon
Zachary Rivers Nova, a reclusive farmer in the 1979 Ohio Forrest farmlands, is a man whose world revolves around his livestock. When two cruel teens prank him by faking the death of his beloved animals, a switch flips within his fractured psyche. Grief and rage consume him, manifesting in a gruesome ritual: he skins a black wool sheep, crafting its hide into a grotesque mask. Fueled by an animalistic savagery, Zachary hunts down the teenagers, dispatching them with chilling brutality. But his vengeance doesn't stop there; his own animals become victims of his deranged fury, blurring the line between man and beast. As the forest itself seems to breathe with his deepening madness, Zachary descends into a primal state, a force of nature twisted by a singular, all-consuming thirst for retribution.

Through the Eyes of Evil
By @Roy Daugherty
In the realm of Egas, where magic defines existence, the universe, weary of mortal corruption, forged a final solution: a being of pure, unadulterated Malice. This entity, named Malachi, born without a soul, was destined to purge life's stains through absolute destruction. Yet, a cosmic anomaly occurred; Malachi developed a soul, a fragile spark amidst infinite power. Now, he roams Egas, harvesting grief not for pleasure, but for an unknown purpose tied to his very essence. His reality-warping abilities make him an unstoppable force, capable of shattering worlds with a thought. But as he cultivates sorrow, leaving trails of devastation, he grapples with the burgeoning humanity within, a duality that threatens to either save or utterly annihilate existence. Can a being born of evil find redemption, or is his path destined for cosmic ruin?
