CRANK-FM VOLUME 14

Stories in this volume include:
A Plague of Demonic Swine
Demonic entities hijack trucks full of pigs and infuse the animals with hatred, unleashing them on a settlement of off‑world disciples. The pigs grow larger and more violent, rampaging through apartment complexes until the disciples - and their robot‑mafia allies - cut them down with swords. The slaughter produces a mountain of pork that feeds the settlement for an entire winter.
Season of the Wall Walkers
Giant eight‑limbed, squid‑like creatures begin appearing on high‑rise buildings, smashing windows and dragging residents out like food from a hive. Cities panic as the wall walkers feed nightly, bellowing across the skyline and leaving apartments gutted. After weeks of terror, the creatures vanish as suddenly as they arrived, leaving only fear and shattered glass behind.
Demonic Imposter Scam
Criminals team up with demonic entities to run a new scam: impersonating dead relatives using stolen spiritual details. Victims receive phone calls from "departed family members" who sound real and know intimate memories - then demand money for supposed afterlife emergencies. The scam spreads quietly because victims are too ashamed to admit they were fooled by a demon wearing a loved one's voice.
What Caused the Rapture?
The narrator explores theories behind the July 20, 1969 rapture - the moment the membrane between Earths tore open. Possibilities include divine timing, demonic sabotage, or humanity's evolution into a multiversal species.
Demonic Infestation
A cluster of demonic entities infiltrates a residential area, amplifying fear, paranoia, and emotional instability. Their presence manifests in nightmares, violent impulses, and strange physical disturbances inside homes. The infestation grows until residents confront the spiritual contamination head‑on.
Mechanical Vulture Malfunction
A flock of off‑world mechanical vultures begins malfunctioning over terrestrial neighborhoods, swooping low, crashing into structures, and scavenging unpredictably. Their broken programming turns them into hazards that terrorize streets and rooftops.
Squadron of Air Jellyfish
Translucent, floating jellyfish drift into Earth's skies, moving in coordinated formations like an airborne marine swarm. Their touch is dangerous, their behavior unpredictable, and their presence disrupts aviation and city life.
Ant Warrior Incursion
A new breed of giant warrior ants emerges from portals, more aggressive and organized than previous incursions. They attack livestock, pets, and humans, expanding territory with military precision.
Corpse Cleaning Beetles
A swarm of beetles appears that can strip a corpse to bone in minutes, leaving behind perfectly cleaned skeletons. Their efficiency terrifies authorities and fascinates criminals who see potential uses.
Corpse Cleaning Beetles - Part 2
The beetles evolve into an organized threat, appearing at crime scenes, disaster zones, and anywhere death occurs. Their presence complicates investigations and accelerates decomposition beyond recognition. Part Two explores the growing fear as the beetles begin responding to death like a summoned force.
Blood Sacrifice
A ritualistic killing occurs, revealing an off‑world cult operating inside terrestrial society. The group uses ancient sacrificial practices to channel demonic power and open new portals.
Fighting the Chaos Demon
A chaos demon manifests, warping probability, destabilizing environments, and turning ordinary moments into lethal hazards. The narrator confronts the entity directly, battling a creature that thrives on disorder and unpredictability. The fight becomes a struggle not just against a demon, but against reality itself.
