they'll William, said, skate, rentals are half off during this opening weak and there will be music by local dj every Friday night Willie
also clarified that there is absolutely no way there is any
ground city living below the rank. I double checked triple checked. William, said
there's no way a portal to another civilization could be under their because I built the skating rank on top of the old pet cemetery. No
who confrontational nation will come from the ground and attack us.
Teddy said he did hear occasional growls and he scenes and
the few loud bird like shrieks, coming from the walls, but this is
most likely just the ghosts of the dead animals whose corpses he disturbed. When building the rank it'll be.
He added as Jones,

Our new sheriff followed up the City Council press conference with a report
the growing number of strangers in night veil these.
Strangers appear out of nowhere and do not.
Visibly move other than their even deliberate breaths. Some
once they are suddenly closer without any.
One. Seeing them take a step, the sheriff
that they think the strangers are just people from Desert Bluffs
abandoned their wretched city to calmly the night veil, but that these secret?
These are looking further into rumours that the strangers might be something else entirely when pressed
about their opposition to Mere Dana Cardinals financial assistance of desert bluffs this year
brought out several foot high, stone and sculpted and
Intricate series of interconnected geometrical shapes each one, balancing the next be reporters watched. The sheriff for
hours until the sculpture was complete, the sheriff then
did that they do not oppose the mayor on all issues. In fact,
Mayor Cardinal is a good mayor
we just disagree on the issue of how to fight crime. The sure said, still tightening
being their stone carver, for instance,
I agree with the mayor about needing to open the dog part, two dogs and people, I loved dogs and think it would be good
if folks could take their dogs into the dog park, the sheriff then
said that they saw the cutest beagle puppy

Leaned close into the MIKE and said so.

To me, but that's just ridiculous skipping
Is the city council leaving town another vacation? What put them
