Crank-FM Volume 8: Global Canine Apocalypse!

By Michael McGavin

Stories include:

Global Canine Apocalypse
An off-world agitator triggers a psychic command that strips every dog on Earth of domestication, unleashing a continent-wide canine uprising. Packs roam the streets, overwhelm security, and trap entire cities indoors. CRANK-FM joins the desperate fight as humanity realizes the only path back to civilization may require eliminating every last dog.

Sonic Assault Weapons
A string of impossible crimes leads CRANK-FM to uncover off-world sonic technology capable of erasing memories, disabling crowds, and manipulating perception. Bank robberies, missing time, and corrupted surveillance footage all point to a new class of weapon that attacks the mind instead of the body.

Demon Vision Goggles Drive People Insane
A mysterious pair of goggles begins circulating on the black market, promising "true sight." Anyone who wears them sees demons layered over ordinary reality-and most lose their sanity within minutes. CRANK-FM investigates the origin of the device and the off-world faction using it to destabilize human consciousness.

Everyone Loves Westerns
A wave of nostalgia sweeps the population as people become obsessed with old-school cowboy stories, frontier justice, and rugged individualism. But the trend isn't organic-an off-world influence is using Western mythology to reshape human behavior, preparing society for a cultural shift with hidden motives.

Killer Dolls Corrupt the Young
Children across the country begin receiving strange dolls that whisper instructions, manipulate emotions, and slowly turn their owners violent. CRANK-FM traces the dolls to an off-world manufacturer using them as psychic Trojan horses to infiltrate the next generation.

The Soul Eaters
A series of unexplained deaths-victims found intact but emotionally hollow-reveals the presence of entities that feed not on flesh, but on human essence. CRANK-FM confronts the truth: these beings slip between Earths, harvesting despair, regret, and fear as their primary sustenance.

Fun with Conspiracy Theories
A lighthearted segment turns dark when CRANK-FM uncovers that some conspiracy theories aren't theories at all-they're deliberate off-world misinformation campaigns designed to distract, divide, and destabilize. The host breaks down which narratives are harmless fun and which are active psychological warfare.

The Impending Singularity
A technological convergence across multiple Earths accelerates toward a shared tipping point. AI, psychic networks, off-world tech, and human consciousness begin to merge in unpredictable ways. CRANK-FM warns listeners that the singularity won't arrive with fanfare-it will slip in quietly, one strange event at a time.
