Business Jets and Softball


San Francisco. Big break. I've just been hired on as a biomedical consultant for Maximus's engineering firm.  Think tall glass buildings surrounding verdant gardens of peace and serenity and an absolutely absurd starting salary.  It is in one of these gardens that they've decided to introduce me to the entire company.  I felt honored and privileged .. even though I had no idea what the hell I was supposed to be doing for these people.  I assume something important.

Alien-Run Underwater Hotel


I was on the Oregon Trail trudging down the wagon road in my prairie schooner with my friends in the back, when we stumbled upon a ghost town in the middle of Bumblefuck, Nowhere.  As tumbleweeds blew across the hard beaten path, gusts of wind rattled deserted wooden buildings and kicked up dirt into the horse's eyes.  One of the ratty old wooden structures looked bustling, so we opened the door to find techno music playing and flashing strobe lights wailing on our senses.
