THE PLANT
A mysterious man.
A secret government organization.
A monster straight out of nightmares.
Patch thought he'd find peace when he came back from the war. But he soon discovered the Tri-Counties held dark secrets that would haunt him for the rest of his life.
Soon after starting his new job at the town's metalworks plant, a group of government officials began conducting experiments on employees, including Patch.
What the drugs did to his body didn't compare to the real reason behind the experiments.
Isolated in a secret location, a small group of residents became victims of a twisted government plan and a creature beyond nightmares.
What did he see?
Where did it come from?
What cost would he pay for what he witnessed?

What Readers Say

This is a good, creepy short story that gives an intriguing peek into what’s to come in Sating’s ‘The Scales.’ I’m looking forward to finding out what horrors Tri-Counties holds for Patch and the other residents.

Paul put together a short story that I didn't want to end.
I felt like I was sitting in the bar and listening to a conversation I shouldn't be. There is an entire life time worth of stories with Patch, that I would love to hear. I finished the story in about 30 minutes, so this is one I'll be recommending for folks who want something entertaining and kill some time.
Tim F.
