Prelate Diogenes Shandor

Peaceable contact is made with seemingly benevolent space aliens. The aliens give humanity access to many fantastic new technologies ushering in a new era pf prosperity. This era of prospsrity is, however, beset by an increased frequency of natural disasters, and by a worldwide rash of increasingly bizarre and bloody large-scale accidents.

Unbeknownst to anyone the actual purpose of the aliens' visit is to engineer these accidents for their own sadistic amusement. Furthermore it was the aliens who seeded this planet - one of thousands - with intelligent life solely for this purpose.

After carefully orchestrated series of orchestrated misunderstandings, diplomatic gaffes, and faulty readings from spy equipment, civilization is wiped out by a massive nuclear exchange on a day when all of the otherworldly visitors are conveniently off world. The Earth is then replanted and ldft "until next time".

(think of it as sort of a thematic combination of the works of the Wachowski bros, Rod Sterling, and the Marquis de Sade)

First contact is made with an intelligent race of aliens who visit the planet physically. Unfortunately, they communicate only through emission of prions, which are absorbed via an organ resembling human olfactory apparatus. The results in humans of attempts at communicating with these aliens is indistinguishable from the results of brain-targetting prion diseases like kuruka and mad cow disease.

Alternative Conflicts.

Yes we have indeed been contacted by aliens intent on serving us.  Good will notwithstanding, yes, to rip off The Twilight Zone, what they mean is to serve us in a mobile interstellar equivalent of a food-truck, to other alien gourmands in search of exotic delicacies.  Now, in the fashion of consuming other similarly offal things, pun intended, sometimes taste is sacrificed to the gods of effect.  This results in a premium placed on particular parts of the human organism.

While certain cretins can be fooled into consuming shameful organs, the real human treat is in the double P's, or pineal and pituitary.  Now, much like our own beef consumption, some meat is premium because of how it was, er, treated.  Think Kobe, free range, pasture fed or whatever.  Again, although humans regard this a matter of taste, aliens are more concerned with effects.

Turns out, for them, prime human cuts contain high levels of endogenous peptide-amines.  They trip-out on farm-raised norepinephrine and DMT, not to mention all those other endorphins, to round off the edges.

That's why there is a war on drugs, to prevent receptor up regulation and stop our being decimated by alien gastronomic tourism.

Fuck, I think I used that trope already.

Meltdown from overload results in supernova as all negative energy-density trapped in quantum bits first explodes, then curves back on itself becoming first information-based black hole.  Surface of event horizon houses monstrous synthesis of reality, developing inside the product of two nested simulations.  Inhabitants of "realty" quickly forget there was was a difference between fiction and fact.

Around the world, in every religious group that values producing large numbers of children, there are infiltrators from a secret society -- a vast network of family lines dedicated since antiquity to ensure a steady supply of seventh sons of seventh sons, the only ones who can sense the great tide of invisible demons waiting to consume the earth, and the ones bound by tradition to keep them at bay.

Horror film- unbeknownst to the new hires at a fast food restaurant they are there as the food

Horror film- one of those evil-reanimated-hand flicks, but instead of a reanimated hand that crawls arounds and strangles people it's a reanimated butt that flies around by farting and kills people with toxic farts. Nobody in the film acknowledges either how ridiculous or how vulgar this is.

A private eye who is also a serial killer. He gets hired to find out what has become of people who were, in fact, killed by him. He waits a week or two, then announces to the client that he has solved the case; he gets paid, says "it was me who did it" shoots the client and waits for someone to hire him to find wou what happened to them, thus ensuring a steady supply of business.

A comedy of errors style 'memoir' detailing the political intrigues of a number of people involved in a network of community-owned sex dungeons over the course of forty years, focusing on in-fighting and manouvering. Sort of The West Wing meets Election meets House of Cards set in a naked rotary club.

A formerly aristocratic family of vampires who went to ground in the Florida everglades after the Civil War took away their primary means of protecting themselves from townspeople (and their primary food supply) come unexpectedly face to face with modernity a hundred years later, when a hippie with an organic chemistry background wanders into their hippo enclave and (after they take him prisoner) falls in love with their (middle, apparently-16-years-old-but-actually-150) daughter. After an acid trip, they decide to run away together by hijacking one of the hippos, and the remaining family descends into petty infighting over their inability to do anything about it.
