Sisters of Rail, Chapter 5 picks up where the interlude left off and transforms it into a critical juncture with some second-hand recounting of the succeeding events.

The Internet is mostly shit these days, but every once in a great while I stumble across an incredible, passion-project website. This one is hand-animated weird art and it is worth your time as a fun decompressing thing in between your doomscrolling sessions. https://floor796.com I don't […]
