"Stitch"



"She knew the killer was in town, frightening the wits out of all the locals with his series of mysterious, gruesome murders.

The murderer´s weapon of choice was unusual: a very large, rusty needle and a spool of dirty thread.
He would his sew his victims to death.
If they didn´t die from the unusual needlework he quickly performed on their bodies, the hideous diseases they picked up from the unsanitary needle and thread did them in.

As she lay in bed waiting for daylight to come, her bedroom door slowly creaked open.
She looked up in terror and called out the needle & thread killer´s nickname...."

"Superstition"



There is an old, old eastern European superstition that entered folk lore prior to middle ages in lower Romania, but actually originated in upper Bulgaria near the semi-enchanted town of Krktq.
No one knows why the superstition began, but there are many behind the door discussions held in whispers about this superstition. Something to do with a traveling used meat salesman and the mayor´s twin daughters Lotta and Bigga.
Some call it a curse, but others just say the superstition for what it is: "Never trust a Steak named Vinnie".
