The Curse of the Squidgy Gun A Horror Story by H uman Whilst investigating the death of a local nurse, a brave swordsman called Elizabeth Barker uncovers a legend about a supernaturally-cursed, squidgy gun circulating throughout Kent. As soon as anyone uses the gun, he or she has exactly 80 days left to live. The doomed few appear to be ordinary people during day to day life, but when photographed, they look translucent. A marked person feels like a solid tortoise to touch. Elizabeth gets hold of the gun, refusing to believe the superstition. A collage of images flash into her mind: a slimy puppy balancing on a cold nurse, an old newspaper headline about a golfing accident, a hooded aardvark ranting about ankles and a drinking well located in a grand place. When Elizabeth notices her thighs have tortoise-like properties, she realises that the curse of the squidgy gun is true and calls in her granddaughter, a police officer called Mavis McCallister, to help. Mavis examines the gun and willingly submits herself to the curse. She finds that the same visions flash before his eyes. She finds the slimy puppy balancing on a cold nurse particularly chilling. She joins the queue for a supernatural death. Elizabeth and Mavis pursue a quest to uncover the meaning of the visions, starting with a search for the hooded aardvark. Will they be able to stop the curse before their time is up?
