For tonight’s tale, we follow our hapless wanderer as the reaches the conclusion of her journey through the darkness at the center of the ruined village. She is pulled from the battle between the two raving jackasses by a strange creature in the form of a ventriloquist dummy. From that point on, it gets a lot weirder.  For this haunted dummy serves as her only guide through her encounters with an increasingly bizarre succession of unearthly beings. This roving pack of drunks serve as her only hope of finding her way to the end of the River Road. They bravely guide her along the strait road that runs along a river that runs near the bus stop she used to get there in the first place. Along the way they face the dangers of convenience stores that are willing to sell them alcohol if they shut up and go away. Their mad journey enriches her with valuable life lessons, such as the importance of friendship in the face of adversity, the strength that comes with compassion, and most important of all, the importance of looking up from your God damned phone when you’re in an unfamiliar area. But the tale takes a dark turn. For as she makes her way back to the real world, she finds the unseen phantoms of the River Road linger about her like smoke from incense offered to the departed. The darkness has found her, it has marked her, and its denizens will forevermore be able to find her. This tale contains references to the previous episode, so the same warnings apply. Furthermore, this tale deals with irresponsible people in states of inebriation and a great deal of disrespect for public order. Listener discretion is advised.
