2023-07-22 16:58:34 +0000 UTC View PostGhouls clawed and hissed at the door, but the barn was built much sturdier than I had expected. It was likely the reason the barn door had held up under the zombie assault when the house did not. The ghoul cl...

2023-07-19 18:22:03 +0000 UTC View PostI broke into a run to see what the pawn shop clerk would do. He didn’t appear to be the most athletic type, and my proved true when he barely managed to trot for about twenty yards before stopping. Turning the corner, I ditch...
2023-07-19 00:57:19 +0000 UTC View PostI appeared back on the bus, and to my great delight, I was fully clothed! The rift travel containment field had worked as advertised. Even better, my wallet, phone and keys were still in my pocket. Looking out the bus window, I...
