How are you still alive?

1 – Duct tape and epoxy putty. You just stuck yourself together. Further examination of your body shows multiple patch-jobs concealed under your clothing – fishing-line stitches, sawdust and staples instead of organs, and so on. You are entirely unsure why you havenโ€™t died yet, but it seems to be working. 2 – An angel […]

Whatโ€™s weird about these elves?

1. Theyโ€™re feral, like all elves are until the age of 100 or so. Up until that point they dwell in the forests in caves, or improvised lean-tos; they hunt with their nails and teeth, leaping out of trees and tearing the throats out of deer. At the end of their first century, they undergo […]

What’s this guy selling out the back of his car?

old car

Header image by Charlie on Flickr. Roll 3D20 to determine what he’s got in stock today. 1 – Rosaries. Theyโ€™re made out of bone and he assures you that theyโ€™re all โ€œused,โ€ whatever that means. 2 – Cats. He sells them by weight, using a pair of antique scales heโ€™s set up on the pavement. […]
