    The last of the hunted
    Oct 7 2020

    Bottled Ghost
    Oct 9 2020
    I bought a ghost. It’s supposed to be a famous ghost. But they say that about every ghost. Who’s ghost is it? Or, I suppose, was. Who’s ghost was it? No idea.

    The Tipping Point
    Oct 10 2020
    The family next door just came back from a funeral. Their kid tipped over a dresser and it fell on him, crushing him.

    Assholes on the half-shell
    Oct 13 2020
