Alvin Derleth, a paranormal investigator (possibly named after Lovecraftian horror writer August Derleth) has never had any luck with his job comes searching for the local culture and population of the town in hopes of finding mythology. A seductive woman and a man tell him that they will help him on his search, and the woman promises him "something more." Alvin initially believes that the couple are going to allow him to assist with their ritual, but the woman tells him that they're a man short and invites him to participate. Alvin asks what he should do. The woman responds by passionately kissing him. Soon the kiss is interrupted when the journalist starts to feel sick and something starts to visibly rumble in his stomach.
