The Curse of the Peculiar Usb
A Horror Story
by The Invisible Man



Whilst investigating the death of a local housekeeper, a charming homemaker called Shea Verpussi uncovers a legend about a supernaturally-cursed, peculiar usb circulating throughout Canada. As soon as anyone uses the usb, he or she has exactly 20 days left to live.

The doomed few appear to be ordinary people during day to day life, but when photographed, they look skeletal. A marked person feels like a derelict rat to touch.

Shea gets hold of the usb, refusing to believe the superstition. A collage of images flash into her mind: a chilly tortoise balancing on a fragile housekeeper, an old newspaper headline about a beer accident, a hooded horse ranting about feet and a drinking well located in a wild place.

When Shea notices her abs have rat-like properties, she realises that the curse of the peculiar usb is true and calls in her boyfriend, a mechanic called Toss Misalad, to help.

Toss examines the usb and willingly submits himself to the curse. He finds that the same visions flash before his eyes. He finds the chilly tortoise balancing on a fragile housekeeper particularly chilling. He joins the queue for a supernatural death.

Shea and Toss pursue a quest to uncover the meaning of the visions, starting with a search for the hooded horse. Will they be able to stop the curse before their time is up?
