Don't Open the Door. Top Story - December 2025.
Wakey, wakey! Congratulations! You're alive! That's more than most people can say right now. That's the good news. Here's the bad news: pulling through them injuries was the easy part. If you're reading this, it prolly means something's happened to me, and I can't take care of you or the other survivors no more.

Enjoy Your Stay. Runner-Up in Everything Looks Better From Far Away Challenge. Content Warning.
Splash! It's fine. Everything's fine. Just don't look at it. A gentle breeze caresses the gauzy curtains around our cabana and stirs up the smell of top-shelf moisturizing sunscreen. Crystalline water ripples along the surface of the pool.
