Part 2/9:
The narrative soon shifts to the plight of Don, a homeless man who awakens one evening to a disembodied voice calling his name. The voice, claiming to be the "ruler of this world," demands Don's servitude under the threat of death. In a moment of desperation, Don's sanity hangs by a thread as he grapples with the haunting question of whether he is speaking to a ghost or a human.
The film then introduces Steve, a desperate scientist whose financial woes lead him to conduct unethical experiments on himself. Faced with eviction from his home due to unpaid rent, Steve injects a concoction derived from his research into his own body. This dark decision results in grotesque transformations and screams echoing through an empty room, with no indication of what has occurred within.
