An African-American social worker in fictional Atlanta, married to a powerful civil rights lawyer, gets pulled into a conspiracy when a fleeing scientist slips him evidence of illegal human experimentation. A Musk/Luthor-type villain, working with a corrupt senator, uses aggressive deportation laws as cover to disappear people into labs. When the protagonist's family is murdered and he's left for dead, he survives via heart transplant β the heart of a werewolf. As he transforms, he hunts those responsible, uncovering the full depth of the conspiracy. His confidant (psychiatric nurse/best friend) fights to keep him from becoming pure monster.
Stella, orphaned at ~8-10, discovers through her mother's journals that she's the daughter of Lucifer. Believing her mother was killed by him, she grows up dark, vengeful, hunting demons with shadow magic and superhuman abilities. When she finally confronts Lucifer (or his representatives), she learns her mother is alive β and that Lucifer didn't rape her mother. Her mother intentionally seduced him to produce Stella as a weapon to claim power over Lucifer himself. Now Stella must decide who to believe: the literal Devil, or the mother who engineered her existence. A gangster hunts demons and artifacts, secretly controlled by Stella's mother, who hijacks the body of the Angel of Death as her instrument. Stella must learn that her demonic (angelic) heritage gives her access to both darkness and light.
A gothic, horror-loving sister and her genius scientist brother finally repair the machine their mother built before disappearing. They believe it's a time travel device β a dome that shifts everything inside to another era. They visit three "periods": a Western shootout, a dinosaur encounter, and an eerily silent dark forest where their mother appears. But she's not their mother β an Eldritch entity wearing her "husk." The machine isn't a time device but a dimensional portal. Each destination was a parallel world. When the sister destroys the machine to escape, they return home β but the entity has taken the injured brother's body and crossed into their dimension. They've doomed their world searching for their mother.
Contained zombie outbreak on a cruise ship. Concept born on honeymoon cruise ~10 years ago, reignited by a recent cruise in January 2026. Jonathan's instinct is to lean into absurdity β dark comedy or dramedy rather than playing it straight. "Wild fun" energy.
Jim (James) is agoraphobic, living in his occult-enthusiast mother's house, pining over his lifelong best friend from afar. When her douchebag boyfriend dies in a freak accident, she comes to Jim for comfort. Drunk and grieving, they attempt a sΓ©ance from his mother's spell books β accidentally summoning a local Grim Reaper and resurrecting the boyfriend. The spell binds the reaper to Jim, splits the reaper's power with the undead boyfriend, and makes Jim the only person who can activate death in their territory. Nobody in town can die. Horrific accidents go uncomfortably undying. The boyfriend unravels psychologically and spreads undeath. Jim must confront his agoraphobia, step outside, fulfill reaper duties, and convince his best friend they need to put down her zombie ex β all while learning he doesn't need to "get the girl" to find his place in the world.
A character finds high-end earbuds left behind in public. After charging them, he hears whispers. Freaked out, he removes them β but feels compelled to put them back. A descent-into-madness short about a cursed talisman disguised as mundane technology. No plot resolution developed yet.
