Owen's Terrarium Julie Hiner

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.




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. What path will Owen be destined to

follow?




One of happiness? Or one drenched in blood?
