Story Seed

One of the local college fraternity has just made it's new members purchase over 200 lbs of bacon as part of their initiation. One of the frat leaders found a strange book bound in pig skin containing strange words. On the night of the ceremony they made the recruits shape all the bacon into a humanoid form and recite the words from the book.

The next day, the whole fraternity shows up for class with burns all over their bodies but won't tell anyone what happened for fear of ridicule.

Needless to say, days later the frat boys aren't the only one to sport those burns and strange rumors begin to circulate.

Can the team of investigators get to the bottom of this? What really happened? Where did that book come from?
