Oblesburg

1:07 AM. Oblesburg.

The Greyhound jerked to a stop in a driving rain, tossing me out of a warm dream of a time that'll never come again, a time before the war. I rubbed my eyes and looked out through the crazy rivers on the window glass. A shabby rotten little corner of a shabby little city, a city full of shabby decent people who just want some peace and never seem to get it. A forgotten place to jungle up for a while until Kroc's boys back on the Coast forgot my face.

I looked at my watch. 1:07 AM. This was the place, all right.

update!

'to jungle up.'

Is this to hide out, or is it a new way of having sex, involving dressing up like Tarzan and covering yourself and your partner with creepers and mosquito bites? I can't decide which seems more likely.

Looking forward to the next installment!
 
This place is becoming distinctly odd. First the stuff about Agamama's Jovian brother, and now this. I think Bogol's been hacked; either that, or the lawn got to him.
 
I agree, Philip. I miss the old normal days when he went around punching people who looked like Dustin Hoffman and being pursued by the Clown of the Baskervilles.
 
You say "blouday",
I say "bluddey" -
Let's call the whole thing of.
 
Yeah! What's this about my brother, enh? He could be on Jupiter - you don't KNOW! Leave 'im alone or I'll, I'll . . .

I'LL TYPE IN ALL CAPS AT YOU!!!!!!!
