Their captain was known as diUmbria, it wasn’t his name, but he was from Assisi. He had come down from the ancient hilltop town to the coast and bought himself a ship. Now he plied the Adriatic and beyond, hawking wares in every port from Venice to Ragusa, Zadar to Naples. Now he was fairly …
So Just as I am thinking about packing it up and just putting it all behind me, getting off the surface and back to orbit asap, this guy comes running up to me. Name is Dillon Gold, he’s wearing a sort of psuedo-military uniform. He asks me a few questions, then asks if I don’t …
<–Previous Damn shit damn shit damn. Ahh… I can’t let this go. That girls going to get eaten alive out here, and that’s not just an expression. Where could she be? I searched all day yesterday, she ain’t in town. Shit. She could be anywhere. Why didn’t I stay? Why do I care? Shit. Something …
<–Previous Got back into that first town. Turns out that girl got outta surgery two days ago. They released her and she just walked off. No one knows where. Should I have stayed? I don’t know. I don’t know. Guess I’ll look around, ask around a bit, see if anyone noticed. Its not likely though. …

<–Previous I left. It ain’t like I can’t go back. Got my hands on an old map. Fella said it might not be all that accurate anymore, but what with the scribbles all over it somethins gotta make sense. I rode out of town east, at an easy saunter, rifle ready, but then I thought, …
<–Previous The girl still hasn’t been let out of surgery, guess the impact got her pretty messed up. Medic says she’ll be fine in the end, but it takes time. Hundred years ago, neither of would have made it. The Miracles of Science. I’m sitting for a bit in a bomb shelter that’s been converted …
<–Previous I woke in the middle of the night, couldn’t sleep. Kept dreaming about zombies. Pulled my rifle out, looked through the scope out at the desert night. Long slow sweep, nothing moving out there. Still and quiet. There’s my horse, still standing there. Dumb thing, don’t know to run away? Then I realize its …
He was thirsty, and had just found a tick on his stomach. Shoveling back revolt he had quickly extracted the squirming blood sucker and was now making his way through the forest to a stream he’d found before. Why was he out here? Self-improvement? Hah…all that was out here was a bunch of annoying insects, …
