📝A Cavern Full of Snakes is apparently a Great Classroom📝

Hasib is still stuck in the room with the Queen of Serpents and twelve thousand snakes, and the QoS a story to tell. Two of them, actually. Long ones. Two years' worth of stories of guys lost in the world...and two different ways of dealing with mistakes and loss. Basically, she's being a very tricky teacher.

"Galoshes" by Chad Crouch

"Magpie" by Chad Crouch

"Building Time Lapse" by Chad Crouch

🖤 The story of why you don't menace crows. Even if the people you're doing it to try to mess with are extremely annoying and lovey-dovey. Or, if you're single and looking, here's why you should definitely throw some rocks at some crows. It might just lead to you meeting the love of your life... sixteen years later, after several trips through an active war zone. This is the unlikely love story of Pang Noo and Uhn Hah.

😈 The Creature: Vu-Murt

He's not a convenience store. He's not a generic superhero. He's that naked man combing his hair by the lake.
