Today’s journey takes us to what is commonly referred to as "the Heartland".  A charming euphemism, but the heart can be a fickle thing.  It can inspire joy—or fuel madness.  Such is the case for one of your fellow passengers.  Fortunately, he isn’t the focus of tonight’s tale.  That honor goes to a creature you may find rather surprising, despite her common appearance.  She is, in fact, the sort of creature that inhabits the event horizon between poisoned love… and the Gray Line.
