And like most obnoxious entertainment reality shows, this one had its own idiosyncratic rules and penalties. Call it The Big Lockdown. We were forced to go to ground, to hide in our holes. Some went underground and never came back. Uncertainty ruled because the rules kept changing. Were we following the science or the mad scientists? Was the light at the end of the tunnel the fiery mouth of hell? We couldn't say for sure, so we ventured out for food, booze and sundries like scavengers in a slow-motion apocalypse, keeping our distance from fellow human beings because you never knew who might be carrying that heavy viral load. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnd everywhere we went, we went behind the mask. So, it became obvious: The theme of our offering of extreme horror tales from 2020 had to be Masquerade. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOur masquerading storytellers nevertheless did what they do best. They went deep into the belly of the beast and sent up fictions reflective of these \"trying\" times. Their stories peel away the masks (or in some cases, the skin) to reveal the inner workings of darkest hearts and minds and deeper fears. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTABLE OF CONTENTS \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Nipples In Dad's Tool Box - Ronald Kelly\u003cbr\u003eGoing Green - Christine Morgan\u003cbr\u003eWhiskey To The Wound - Rachel Nussbaum\u003cbr\u003e\/thestrangethingwebecome - Eric LaRocca\u003cbr\u003eHey Valentine - Amanda Cecelia Lang\u003cbr\u003eIn Subspace, No One Can Hear You Scream - Hailey Piper\u003cbr\u003eThe Pogonip Fog - Sean Patrick Hazlett\u003cbr\u003eGunfire And Brimstone - Alicia Hilton\u003cbr\u003eThe Happiest Man In The World - Matthew Brockmeyer\u003cbr\u003eSynaesthete - Melanie Harding-Shaw\u003cbr\u003eFull Moon Shindig - Patrick C.
