Via r0d, this short, cool, geeky and scary comic strip set in a phone box that's been, apparently randomly, encased in concrete with our hero trapped inside.

Phone boxes (or phone booths, to you Americans) make quite a rich seam for short stories, usually focusing on a combination of claustrophobia and random, sudden communication (protagonist hears a public phone ringing, answers it, and...) thus feeding a prime motivator of terror: it could happen to anyone - including YOU!

Can't remember if I've seen it before, but I am now *enormously* satisfied at having achieved a maximum score in it and finishing the game without dying.

Ha.

Nice on Yoz!

I saw La Cabina a long time ago but could never remeber its name - I was starting to think I'd halucinated the whole thing :-D
