Nightmare Fuel: Sapphire And Steel
Assignment 4
The prison and eventual fate of Ruth and the landlord.
Even though Ruth's friend Liz survives, she will have to take precautions for the rest of her life, and if she slips up even once the monster will be able to get at her if it ever escapes from its can — even if it doesn't escape until long after she's dead.
