The jungle presses close around Slacy, thick with heat, rot, and breath. Something moves, stalking. When the trees clear, all he finds is dust and the bones of a dead world. He finally realizes where he is—but all he wishes for now is death. and text.
Ok firstly the horror mixed with humor I absolutely love and it's also like when my kid gets seriously hurt but cracks jokes in the midst and I'm laughing while they're bleeding and I have to say "stop! This isn't funny!"
Thank you for that! Lol
Second, the part with Chuq. Bravo with the tone shift to that. We get to see a multi-faceted Slacy who I get the feeling is a very complicated man under the humor.
Thirdly! Climbing a tree naked.
Lastly, love the pace of this and getting to explore the world more. And the little reveal at the end. Perfect because living in the world is scary enough. We kid ourselves that there's some other horror out there.
Yeah, he’s not just the shallow doofus we see. You’ve actually met Chuq before, just no one else has yet 😉
This is where the whole accidental body horror came in 😂. I’ve always liked horror or sci-fi where the worst danger is not aliens, it’s just us terrible and beautiful humans.

Yes to the humans! I can't wait for more!
Great chapter, Ed! I'm enjoying the slower pace — why rush when you're having fun? 👌🏻
It’s not like he’s got anywhere else to be
I am transfixed, I can’t wait to see what Slacey discovers about his strange predicament amid the end of the world
Thanks for read-listening to everything so far! He’s sometimes as strange as his predicament 😂
