Ideas come and go, and their only real value is found in their execution. We here at the Calamity often find ourselves amidst grand ideas, and ideas of grander scope, yet we are bound by time and energy to commit only to those ideas we feel most strongly about. Recently, it was HOUSE. This week, however, we began outline and creating the scaffold for a new set of attractions—perhaps even a whole new section of our theme park! You can read about below in Under Construction.
Our vampires consider how to address a problem in A Vampire’s Vengeance. Solomon, who is already way in over his head, gets in deeper in HOUSE. A jelly-fish plays a strong supporting role in The Jelly-Fish. And things seem to take a turn for the bus driver and his passengers in Bus Driver.

This week, we, along with our beloved vampires Isabelle and Edgar, are introduced to Marcello. Good guy? Bad Guy? Based on the last chapter, he may be up to no good, but it’s too early to tell.
How is our dear Solomon faring in his recent dreamwalk? His search for the stranger seems to have been a success. Or has it?
This edition, we present a strange story from the public domain. Is it terrifying? Perhaps, in retrospect, with a little empathy. It’s more curious than anything, though we hope you enjoy it nevertheless:

An old woman risks everything to discover what became of her husband. A tale from the Odds ‘n’ Endings Boutique.
When last we rode with the bus driver, they had arrived at the Trading Outpost and were settling in for the night. You can catch up with Part XXI here. We can hope, much like the bus driver and his passengers, the night goes on without a hitch. Maybe some drama—there is alcohol involved, after all—but no zombies. Does it shake out that way?
