now more than ever, we are full of blood and honey wealth.
To night,
We start our programme with some good news listeners. Several nights
veil residents have reported seeing subway entrances popping up all over town, these
brightly lit stairwells into the underground
I've been showing up on several street corners over the past few days, but the secret police
I've denied knowledge of any subway system. According to
our stations, research into the issue,
there are no records of the night veiled transit authority ever creating
a subway system
we're getting one approved or even having disk.
Building one, nor has there
ever existed a night veil Transit Authority, the only
since can be found in the brochures- literate,
the entrances describing

There's a crudely drawn map of our new transit system
all routes resembling spasm, ing, tentacles and all passing, at least once through a common point, deep beneath
center of night veil,
no one yet knows where the subways came from or where they go to box
as the city dweller. I am certainly happy to hear that night veil is embracing mass transit. This is of

of more on these breaking story, soon,
ladies and gentlemen, I want to talk to you now about a popular new service in town that delivers feelings.
Whether you want them or not. This service,
has no name or contact information. It simply delivers feelings. You,
we're not choose the feeling, though yelp
reviews, say tingling.
Horror and as though electric

It is unclear where, on yelp, you look for these reviews.
I myself
I have received a few feelings so far, such as blood feud and from

about choosing which feeling. And why and when.
The secret police in cooperation with a vague, yet menacing government agency, would like to run

in night veil,

They remind you that this is a friendly reminder. These
police added their assurance that they see
no reason to alert us to the not at all, increasingly common practice of green parties.
Consensual, cannibalism, it be pretty
terrible of us to conceal that right. A heavily cloaked spokesperson said: distractedly,
deeply engrossed in a game of drop seven on his

The city council has now officially denied any

so we're getting reports that a press conference was just held in front of the ashen shell of the public library, which of course,

According to the release the city

It goes on to say that night veil could eventually become a true travel destination like
Japan or Brazil, or Singapore or law

All of our family and friends that have gotten
the train today. I know there are concerns night veil, but this subway,
seems to be a major step forward for our town or out.
Environment, for our hear something is happening listeners. This does not appear to be a standard government created earthquake across the street. There are shimmering waves of heat curdling, the air above the subway entrance. A black cloud of large insects is swirling above I do not know what this means. Nightvale and Cin Cin Turn Dillon never returned from his errands likely, because I told him to take the new subway to save time. I myself must go investigate in the meantime, I give you the weather

And, like many of you other writers, I saw and felt the cosmic suffering

And wars and discoveries and kisses and plagues and knives and cold empty void.
I saw it all at once and I could not makes

but I understood it fully and it took years night since
