So a bunch of folks I know are going on a Grand Adventure later this month, driving across the US in about two days nonstop. I was going to suggest they slay some dragons and bring back hot Martian babes, but then it turned out that, along the way, they pass by Centralia, Pennsylvania. You know, the place the film of Silent Hill was based on? A half-abandoned city with overgrown roads and four cemeteries. Close to a disastrous plane crash in 1948, and home to a mine fire that has been burning since the sixties. A massive vein of coal fuels the underground fire, and it will probably keep going for two hundred and fifty years. Poisonous smoke like hellish breath gouts out from cracks in the unstable ground. The fire's a bit more visible in some parts, too. Did I mention that they're probably going to be passing by it around dusk in winter, where the smoke will be at its most haunting and visible? And that two of them are sensitives (if you believe in that sort of thing)? I have informed them to take several pictures, and if they encounter strange little girls with rats on sticks, they are to run the hell away. In other news, lo! And behold! The Iron Hand of Götz Von Berlichingen! At the age of twenty-four, Götz's arm was destroyed in a cannon blast. Sensibly enough, he went and got a new one. One with levers and buttons and spring action and articulated fingers. A masterpiece of engineering hailing from the sixteenth century. No word on whether it had wolverine claws or shot lasers.
