Societal Horrors: Additional Fables

The Full Story

Jeff The Killer Vs Laughing Jack
Jeff Woods, better known as Jeff The Killer, is a serial killer unlike what people may think of him. A good hearted young man, he only wishes to murder people who're "too asleep" to see the harm they do to others. However, he isn't afraid to help innocent people when they need it most, such as helping someone struggling to carry their groceries. In the midst of his daily routine, Jeff comes across a demonic looking clown trying to murder an innocent victim. Jeff immediately intervenes in this clown's scheme in order to protect the victim. The clown, his name being Laughing Jack, becomes infuriated by this man's ploy, leading to a battle between the two different killers. After the fight, Laughing Jack is immediately entranced in curiosity over Jeff. How could someone like him care about life while he himself doesn't? It didn't make sense to the clown entity. Jeff, like Laughing Jack, becomes fascinated by this new enemy of his. Jeff may have killed abusive parents, thugs, and other assholes who didn't deserve to live. Laughing Jack, out of all of them, ranging from who they are and what they've done, is a monster. A rivalry forms from here on out with Jeff determined to end Laughing Jack's reign of terror and Laughing Jack wanting to break Jeff's spirit.

Humanity's Poison
The apocalypse is upon humanity as Zalgo, a fallen angel exiled for his "sinful" behavior, wishes to destroy the human race but needs to regain his power through corrupting the blood of the innocent. He may have Hoody, his ever so loyal servant, but he's not enough. Enter Laughing Jack, a clown sharing Zalgo's nihilistic views on the world. Zalgo soon meets the clown murderer and promises him immortality as long as he gives the fallen angel his services. At first, Laughing Jack is hesitant to aid him since he's a solo show run only by himself. Zalgo, being the cunning manipulator he is, manages to get him on bored after using his magic to heal Laughing Jack's wounds from his fight with Jeff The Killer.

Horrors of Society
Soon after the fight he had with Laughing Jack, the Glasgow smile killer comes across  Slenderman, a faceless stalker of the woods protecting children and punishing the wicked. The two leave each other alone due to both of them not having issues with each other. Jeff then goes about his business and meets other killers just like him in the process. One of these killers is his old neighbor and classmate Jane Madison under the moniker of Lithium Shroud. The two go on an adventure of connecting through their shared experiences with their toxic families, learning about Zalgo's plot to eradicate humanity, avoiding Laughing Jack and Hoody trying to kill them, and meeting the Ghoulish Wanderer a.k.a. Toby Walters. Not only that, but the three killers also meet Eyeless Jack, another serial killer being hunted by the Poisonous Heathens. Slenderman soon joins up with the team once all five killers speak about this new finding of theirs. The newly formed Societal Horrors, knowing what could happen if Zalgo's plan succeeds, come together and make it their mission to end the monsters' reign of terror to prevent humanity's extinction.

A Mad World
The Societal Horrors' universe is filled with murderers, the police, urban legends, and other macabre creatures trying to bring the titular team down. Some of those monsters range from self righteous murders like them to people who're more monstrous than The Poisonous Heathens themselves. There's also the monsters the team are dealing with internally (Jeff's insecurities hidden behind his wit and charm, Slenderman's strict, emotionally withdrawn persona, Toby's impulsive approach towards helping others, Jane's pride in what she does, and Eyeless Jack's lone wolf attitude), that threatens to disassemble the team at any given moment.
