If you haven't been reading our witty romp so far, this chapter will confuse the bejesus out of you, and may cause seizures, hiccups, and necrolepsy. No that last isn't a typo - you may indeed experience random moments of death. D...

The SHTF, Fallout and Time to Leave The sound of the soft swish-swish-swish of the propellers on the dirigible could be heard over the morning birds and insects waking in Vern's Dale.

He could have been a popular kid, except for his love of classical music and art, and a predisposition tow...
It was Friday night and I was looking forward to the night out with my friends. This whole past week had been shitty for me; got a C+ on my second exam for my summer course, got into a fight that left a bad scrape on my upper left arm, and work had been extremely stressful.

Captain Esek Hrelle sat at his regular table with the rest of his family, eating without enjoying it. He expected such a reaction, but also knew enough to eat, regardless of the circumstances, n...
