The heat stroke ridden weather, the barren empty sights
No oasis here to see, the sand is singing deathless words to me
My Yuletide gift for Snapdragon133, based on the prompts:
- Create a story involving the Planasthai Press (there's plenty of established characters you could use, like Duke Gathers).
- Create a story set in the Last Light collection, featuring one or more of the villainous individuals described in my Last Light story.
- Create a story with a tag combination that has never existed on the site before (crime/apocalyptic; last-light/planasthai; probably others).
It is also, counting the section headings, exactly 6969 words. It is also also an extended riff on the SCP wiki tale Duke 'till Dawn, mainly the section headings, which correspond to Dr. Kondraki's backup plans.
With this I have now written gonzo journalism for two of the three Serpentine Sorting System canons. Vitalis is next, I guess. We'll see what I do with it. Merry Yuletide, everyone.
Thank you to BenOverlord for reading over it!
