Theme: Cosmic Horror, Crop Circles and Aliens 


You're laying in bed after a long day. Drifting off to sleep for the good night's you've been craving, you hear something. Sounds like a howl, of what you're unsure of. "Not my problem" you utter to yourself. After some tossing and turning you finally get to sleep.

Will you have the same dream that has been tormenting your sleepless nights? Perhaps you'll be abruptly awoken by the violent vibrations of an otherworldly engine. Your reality being broken and warped in front of you.

Will you become the test subject of extraterrestrial horrors beyond understanding, faced with difficult decisions? These questions are burned into your mind and vision, compelling you to act. Compelling you to create the maddening visions that haunt you.

The Jam will begin March 18th at 9 AM CST and will remain open to submissions until April 1st at 1 PM CST.
