EC Portfolio #5

In "A Sound of Thunder," Mr. Eckles joins a high-stakes expedition with Safari, Incorporated, where wealthy thrill-seekers travel back 60 million years to hunt dinosaurs using a time machine. Armed with rifles and a strict warning to stay on the designated path, the group ventures into the prehistoric past, where the thrill of the hunt quickly turns uneasy when a single misstep alters reality in ways no one could predict.

In "Came the Dawn!", a man’s growing unease turns to dread when a mysterious girl appears in the woods, eerily matching the profile of a dangerous escaped lunatic. As his suspicions deepen, the reality of her presence becomes far more sinister—when his girlfriend vanishes, her fate tied to the very threat he feared.

In the dusty frontier town of 1883, a man named Miller returns after years in prison, determined to reclaim his name and take control of the town he was wronged by. As he confronts the judge and jury who sent him away, he makes a bold declaration: he’ll have a new trial, and this time, he’ll be found innocent. But when he turns his attention to young Lucy, the town’s sheriff steps in—and the tension explodes into violence. Just as the showdown reaches its peak, an old man stumbles in, clutching a rifle, and with a voice cracked by time and fury, cries out, “Betsy!”

In "A Grim Fairy Tale!", a once-peaceful kingdom descends into dark chaos when the royal couple’s beloved white mice are threatened by a rat infestation. The King and Queen, sheltered in their moated castle, decree that killing rats is now a capital offense—despite the townspeople’s desperate efforts to save their homes. When the citizens finally rise up, their fury turns deadly, and the royal family’s arrogance meets a fate as gruesome as it is inevitable.
