Moonlight Over a Solitary Thug

For tonight’s episode, we find ourselves standing at the crossroads with one of the village’s disaffected youths. As we stand beneath the moon in need of direction and purpose, we await the birdman and his legion of doomed souls. The hour is late, and nothing good is likely to come of any of this. Nevertheless, we stand waiting, mulling over the past crimes and sins that brought us to this lonely street corner. Our guide is an aimless soul, yet he has been enlisted to protect the birdman from the dangers that assail him. As he looks to the sky for the arrival of his fate, his doom creeps towards him on dead fingers, ready to drag him to the depths of a watery oblivion. The only weapons within his grasp lie deeper in the darkness, beyond our worst fears. This episode contains discussions of crime and cruel acts of mutilation, as well as horror, death, hopelessness, and profanity. Listener discretion is advised.
