| A is for Amateur | E. L. Katz | From the United States. An assassin is hired to kill a notorious drug dealer. The assassin makes it to the building, crawls through the air vents and kills his target.

Three weeks later, the smell of rotting flesh leads those in the drug dealer's apartment to the assassin's corpse, which then falls from the air vents, causing his gun to go off and kill his target.

As they leave, one of the ghouls swats and crushes a louse, and from its remains a giant louse soon emerges. This louse consumes the dead man's hand, creating a living copy of him who then beheads his killers. He takes their heads and shoves them into the insect's abdomen, only for his head to get stuck in the hole. He pulls it out, but his neck gets distended.
