Guides and Prompts
from Issue 67

The heat has been unbearable, for far too long this August.  The governor has issued a State of Emergency Order for the next ten days.  He urges the elderly and children to drink lots of water and stay indoors.  You've waited through a cold July for this heat. Outside, the sun is setting and with the coming of night, your skin prickles.  Overhead the moon is full, bleaching the earth a brilliant white and casting long shadows from trees and buildings.  As you step into the shadow, your heart leaps, what was that sound, an owl perhaps.
