Etymology
From physiognomy.
Fyzog
"There was only one rule: don’t open the door.”
But since when do teenagers follow rules?
They were staying the night in a "haunted cottage" haunted by a Fyzog, a malevolent spirit that could get into a body and turn others to stone. The Fyzog was said to live in the cellar, hence the instructions.
But what was the point of coming to a haunted cottage if you can't see what is haunting it? They were sat in the room, watching porn on their phones.
"Oh my god, I think I'm turning to stone!!" laughed one.
"Come on let's open the door"
"The rules say..."
"Sod the rules, there's nothing down there"
They opened the door and went down in the cellar, there was nothing but rubbish.

He woke and screamed, he thought he had dozed off.
His mate was in the opposite chair, turned to stone, his final expression a scream.
He remembered nothing, but it looked like the Fyzog had been let out, possessed him, and turned his mate to stone.
He didn't know what to do, but then called the police and ambulance, though a pick-up truck would have been more appropriate.
There was a lot of explaining to do, and none of it would make the slightest bit of sense.

Agatha Christie's Parrot
"There was only one rule: don’t open the door.” That was just one of the stipulations on hiring the cottage once owned by Agatha Christie, another was to look after the parrot, which was old and said to have been Agatha's favourite, but that may have just been another story.

The good thing about living in modern times is that LGBTQ representation in media is increasing. Not just in niche and Independant media, either, but also in mainstream media. Books, movies, TV shows, comics... they're finally catching on that LGBTQ+ people form a significant part of their audience, and deserve to see themselves on screen and in fiction, not just as victims in documentaries and true crime shows.
