The Curator of Schlock #532: The Violent Professionals
In a flash, the Revenging Manta sliced his blade into the bullet flying toward my heart, cleaving it in two.

The Curator of Schlock # 525: Ghoulies II
Seeing Waldo hooked up to that ventilator and clinging for dear life filled my heart with sorrow. Yes, he was a flawed man who defaced the statue of Carl Weathers in the Museum of Schlock, but even that despicable deed didn’t earn him this pitiful state. I left the room distraught, wondering if saving my… Continue reading

I had lost track of Albert Simmons, accountant to the Goose Lord and his gang, and was aimlessly wandering the corridors of the hospital.
