Owen’s Terrarium
Owen loves classic horror films, his exotic pets, and a beautiful cheese and wine pairing. Driven by an upward spike of pain as he fights the urges spawned by his sickness, he hides from the world.
At home, he relishes in the beauty of his carefully acquired exotic pets, works on the new, sterile terrarium in the basement, or devours a wheel of cheese while viewing a horror delight on the big screen in his film room. At the Elm Film House, he hides in the basement, examining reel after reel for flaws. He only surfaces to run a double horror feature at Friday Fright Night.
He is destined to fight the evil within, alone, except for his pets. Until a milky-skinned, chocolate-haired goddess enters the stage of his troubled life. New feelings emerge.
Old ones boil beneath the surface.
This is the way that Owen’s life takes a drastic turn: with a forced surfacing from the basement of the Elm Film House ,and an unexpected guest at Friday Fright Night.
What path will Owen be destined to follow?
One of happiness? Or one drenched in blood?
