Alone, in the far reaches of a dark cave lies a beast. A monster so fowl, so rotten from its core to its thick green fur, no human dared go near it for ages. Rejected by its creators, the rancid creature was condemned to spend eternity in its icy prison.

But on one otherwise uneventful Tuesday, a bored housewife will uncover what so many feared.

This summer... all smell will break loose.


The Meatloaf That Time Forgot

Rumors tell of an ominous green cloud that rolls into the dense forests along the coast of Cheek Bay, cloaked in darkness. Indestructable, insatiable, bloated with the stench of its victims... it wafts, it seeps, it asyphyxiates! The locals won't venture out after dusk, but for a group of unsuspecting sorority girls, stranded in the sleepy coastal town of Thighmore, ignorance can be a real killer.

Look for 'The Fart', coming to a theatre near you sometime this summer.

Mark was a good kid, but the one thing he despised was what his mother had asked him to do just moments ago; dishes.

He walked up to the counter, biting back the terror laden scream which threatened to escape him. Plates and bowls were stacked within the porcelain confines of the sink amidst pots, pans, and cups. Worst of all, he realized as he peered carefully at the dirtied dishes; no one rinsed anything!

No longer could Mark hope to hold the terror inside. He opened his mouth and let out a blood curdling scream which could’ve shattered glass.

"Quit your complaining already!" His mother instructed him unsympathetically.

His wife made chili last night. He hadn’t felt right since.

His stomach was liquefied by the unnatural heat source within the chili. He actually felt the stomach acids boiling within as his body worked to evict the foreign substance.

That’s when a burning sensation like nothing he had ever experienced pushed to his rear-most extremity. He rushed to the bathroom with an ass clenching stride and quickly sat upon the porcelain. The liquid fire shot out with such ferocity that he clung to the seat to keep from blasting off like a launched rocket.

He could only pray the searing torment would soon end.
