In a soft rumble of thunder, a hard rain began to fall, and the sheriff paddled on through the deluge, savagely working out the details of his bloody revenge.

The Wyeth Journal—Cascade

Pausing to gather her thoughts, Mildred began to write in her private journal.

The City of Buena Vista, West Virginia, better known as Cascade to the locals, was the final victim of skydark. Yet even as it fell, it rose again to a new life, and hopefully a much better one. But only time would tell for sure.

Taking a sip of coffee, she went on.

Beware of a healthy doomie, as they're most likely a fake and out to chill you.

Incredibly, kudzu is edible, and really quite tasty. The leaves are as sweet as cactus pulp. Honestly, I will never get over that. Between the mutants, monsters and maniacs, this strange little bit of news is still the most bizarre that I have ever encountered.

Also, pigeon crap can be used to make saltpeter, the basic ingredient for black powder. Later I'll write down the instructions for converting black powder into gunpowder, which is safer to store, more powerful, and really a bitch to make, but well worth the effort. Trust me, your patience will be rewarded. That's all for now. My turn for guard duty.
