This is Tales to Terrify. Good evening, children of the night, and welcome.

We have one tale for you this week about a batch of pet sea monkeys who bring back more than just a bad attitude from their trip into space.

Our story tonight comes from Frank Orido.

Frank Orido is a writer of weird and horrific fiction living in the wilds of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. His work has appeared in the

magazine of fantasy and science fiction, flame tree press, and the year's best hardcore horror.

When not writing, Frank creates elaborate meals for his wife and ever-hungering children.

Children of the Night, join me.

For Frank Orido's God-Damn you to hell, John Glenn.
