It's the End of Civilization as we know it. A mutagenic plague followed by a global war fought with disintegration weaponry has left much of the Earth a desert of fine powder and what remains of humanity fragmented into humans, animal-like mutants and bloodthirsty monstrosities with lots of teeth. The surface, still teeming with the mutagenic virus, has become the domain of the dreaded Topsiders; well-organized, technologically advanced, and heavily armed un-mutated humans sworn to exterminate mutations of any kind in order to clear the way for the eventual resurgence of a new, genetically clean humanity. Faced with annihilation, mutants and "impure" humans have retreated into the depths of the planet to form communities and hope to win, or at least survive, what may prove to be mankind's final war. Endtown is the continuing story of one of those communities.

LOVE Maude’s snoring, and the couple portrait on the wall. I’m really beginning to like Linda. She’s really moving forward!

Could that be Maude’s husband on the portrait?

Maude’s asleep; she looks totally spent
And in dreams, perhaps she has been sent
To a happier time
For she looks quite sublime
With her handsome (and Chaplin-like) gent
But she’s forced to the path she must trod
Now she’s looking at Linda quite odd
Linda’s forced to be blunt
And make her case up front
For she cannot just steal milk from Maude

Oh wow, Maude’s husband must have been a Typhoid Mary! (Assuming that’s her husband in the picture)

A lot of possibilities present themselves here. I really enjoyed the various tracks of yesterday’s inputs. I does look like there’s a slight smile on Maude’s face.

We all want to help Aaron Neathery, each in our own way. If you think Endtown is great but you don’t have the resources to support it financially, there’s nothing stopping you from helping get it more well known. Tell people how fantastic it is. Write letter after letter. To whom? Well, use your imagination: Your local newspaper, your favourite blogs, Dark Horse books, Oprah, Time magazine. It’s all message-in-a-bottle stuff, but sometimes something will just pay off. Wouldn’t you like to be the person whose slim chance actually hit the big time?

As an Australian, I can tell you the best chocolate cakes have one secret ingredient: koala snot. But you just can’t get it these days. It’s so rare, Linda would have to be extremely lucky to find someone with an unused jar of it hidden away in a cupboard somewhere. Hmm… suggestions, anyone?

Actually there is no proof that Marie Antoinette ever said any such thing. That is an Urban Legend, like the one about lemmings jumping off cliffs, it never happened.

I have been in contact with Aaron and he says he has a car and I have been nagging him that there is only so much magic I can collect and forward that he Needs to WALK and get that leg in better shape. H won’t be able to drive as long as this leg flairs up.He has been in his room working on the script. almost constantly so I am told. Yes. That urgent. We need, as a group ,to send him our power of love and determination and let him know we support him .To get him exercising that leg so It will not need to be amputated. That is the cure for that leg if antibiotics don’t clear it up permanently.
I love you Aaron and your friends need to know this.

Yeah, I saw that. Freaky coincidence, eh?

“Want to feel useful?”
Aaron is building up hospital bills, and can’t afford insurance. Anything you can do to help out, money-wise or not, will make it more likely that Endtown will keep going through these difficult times.
