Ward 32 – Episode 15

Posted on June 4, 2007March 5, 2011 by Dodger

You reach the record player just as the first wave of insects begins emerging from the wall. There are so many of the damn things so close together that you can’t see the legs of one because it’s blocked by the body of another. Given this fact, and the fact that the sparse light in…

Ward 32 – Episode 14

Posted on May 31, 2007March 5, 2011 by Dodger

Cracking the door carefully, you slip into the room. The record player is still crackling and merrily singing its song. At the moment, it’s merely a familiar musical instrumental, but as you begin to move about the room, searching for anything that might be of use, the words begin: I see the bad moon a-rising….

Ward 32 – Episode 13

Posted on May 29, 2007March 5, 2011 by Dodger

You pry yourself up off the cold floor and, seeing that Harold is still breathing, you slump down the dark corridor towards the one room with a patch of light and the crashing sounds coming from inside. As you approach, your eyes glance forward beyond your objective, and you get a better idea of what…

Ward 32 – Episode 12

Posted on May 24, 2007March 5, 2011 by Dodger

Rising from your seat, you stand before the woman with the python mask, raise the cup of wisdom to your lips and drink deeply. For a few brief moments you are unaffected, but before long your vision starts to narrow and blacken, and you feel unconsciousness setting in around you. Before you collapse to the…

Ward 32 – Episode 11

Posted on May 21, 2007March 5, 2011 by Dodger

Grasping Harold by his uniform, you drag him around the corner a few feet away from you and stash him behind an overturned table — away from any prying eyes. If someone were to search for him, they’d likely find him, but from his current location he’s not visible from any of the room entrances….

Ward 32- Episode 10

Posted on May 17, 2007March 5, 2011 by Dodger

Having resolved to save the one person who may be your friend in this horrible place, you dart back towards Harold’s unconscious (you hope) form. As you near Harold, the monster takes notice of you and, with a roar that you remember all too well, lashes out at your face with one of its oily…

Ward 32 – Episode 9

Posted on May 14, 2007March 5, 2011 by Dodger

Harold leads you down a twisting set of passageways with which you are unfamiliar. You think that perhaps it might be possible for you to find your way back, but you wouldn’t bet on it. At one point the passage opens up into a larger room — a junction of several other passageways. Harold stops…

Ward 32 – Episode 8

Posted on May 10, 2007March 5, 2011 by Dodger

Your senses are reeling. Up to this point you’ve always been the type of person who had both feet on the ground. Now, however, your eyes are telling you things your brain does not want to believe. Perhaps you really are crazy. Perhaps they were right to put you in here. Perhaps… perhaps you really…

Ward 32 – Episode 7

Posted on May 7, 2007March 5, 2011 by Dodger

The first thought that crosses your mind is “Damn… my leg is starting to hurt!” Knowing that, you scan the shelves looking for something that could help. With the aid of your shiv, you tear a couple of strips off an extra uniform from a pile in one of the corners and bind up your…

Ward 32 – Episode 6

Posted on May 3, 2007March 5, 2011 by Dodger

In your shock and horror at your predicament, the first thing that comes to mind is the sharpened bolt you found. You reach out with your left hand to grab the vent nearest you to and then reach into your pocket for the shiv. Being careful not to stab yourself in the ankle, you twist…
