Chapter 127: The Deck

Well, I’ve had quite a week, as have many of my fellow Americans, I would reckon.

There was about 24 hours where my heart was seized with despair and rage in a way that I have never experienced before, or at least not in a very long time.

Alright, let’s get back to business, shall we?

How does this go again? Excuse me if I take a moment to get my bearings. The last time I was writing on this subject, the very flames of hell were licking at my monitor from outside my lone apartment window. Now they have been replaced with the icicles of the holy fanfiction of one Dante Allighieri. No, but we have in fact had a rather mild winter this year, no snow down here in the Green River valley, though it is a little chilly tonight. It will… not quite freeze, reaching a mere 33 degrees.

But enough about the weather, let us move on to today’s subject.
