The Curse of the Bendy Gun

A Horror Story
by Qhnra

Whilst investigating the death of a local detective, a helpful computer programmer called Elizabeth Sparkle uncovers a legend about a supernaturally-cursed, bendy gun circulating throughout Australia. As soon as anyone uses the gun, he or she has exactly 203 days left to live.

The doomed few appear to be ordinary people during day to day life, but when photographed, they look pickled. A marked person feels like a quiet badger to touch.

Elizabeth gets hold of the gun, refusing to believe the superstition. A collage of images flash into her mind: a windy puppy balancing on a wild detective, an old newspaper headline about a golfing accident, a hooded cat ranting about feet and a drinking well located in an urban place.

When Elizabeth notices her legs have badger-like properties, she realises that the curse of the bendy gun is true and calls in her granddaughter, a lawyer called Felicity Barker, to help.

Felicity examines the gun and willingly submits herself to the curse. She finds that the same visions flash before his eyes. She finds the windy puppy balancing on a wild detective particularly chilling. She joins the queue for a supernatural death.

Elizabeth and Felicity pursue a quest to uncover the meaning of the visions, starting with a search for the hooded cat. Will they be able to stop the curse before their time is up?
