Part 5: Continued

Chapter 2 Continued

Nearby the vine-blocked road, I spot a small shack. I'll go check it out.

Inside, there's a bed and a small dresser - hardly what I'd call accomodating. Who'd live here?


Pawing through the dresser, I find a diary...


...and a newspaper article. Not wanting to pry into someone's personal business, I put down the diary, and read the article.


Intrigued, I throw my common decency out the door and pick that diary back up. Let's see...

Sounds easy enough...



Mother... did that? Oh Jesus! What kind of fucked up place is this?!


My thoughts exactly!



Yeah, well, you're just a little, stupid, ugly girl!



I play a game of Tic-Tac-Toe with her, and beat her soundly. The day is mine!



And you're a charming example of feminine superiority... bitch.


Her brother butts in once more.






Her brother butts in once more.

That's all I can get from her. So I move on to her brother...
