Four working class friends kidnap a state congressman in the midst of the 2020 pandemic but can't decide what to do with him. Their friendship starts to unravel as one of them reveals a dark secret and a horror from beyond space and time takes root in our world. Inspired by H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos.

"Three Corners of Deception" is a story about how a college law professor and an attorney fell in love over a Las Vegas Memorial Day weekend. They got married shortly thereafter, then started a family only to realize he wasn't the man he said he was and a complete manipulation of the relationship occurred. The marriage ended hastily after a year, only to be carried out in a court of law that brought even more deception than what was originally thought. Eventually the court would rule against the mother in all areas due to judicial deception with judges, lawyers, and lawmen involved. They were part of the "good ol' boy network."
