2 pm: Precious Armageddon, a work in progress by Miguel Salgado, Jr. (he/they)

Five psychiatric patients are put in the care of Dr. Gregory Shultz, a retired professor of abnormal psychology. The story examines the first month of these patients' time at Beacon Psychiatric Hospital & Sanitorium through scattered therapy sessions and other happenings taking place inside Schultz's office. Precious Armageddon is a series of uncomfortable, confusing moments capturing troubled souls attempting to retain a sense of control amidst inner chaos.

2:45 pm: Finger by DC Cathro (he/him)

Seventeen-year-old Vee discovers something strange inside a small box, and embarks on a dangerous search for the owner.
