First and foremost, I have renamed the “holiday” of Friday the 13th in honour of Willard, Ohio’s prodigal son and Cleveland Browns quarterback Charlie Frye.
We survived a Full Harvest Moon (FHM, for which the magazine is truly named) one week ago today and we shall have to endure the All Hallow’s Eve celebration at the end of this month. Only once per every three years do we see an FHM in October, which perenially contains Halloween. The next Octoberish Frye-day the 13th will be in 2028. Clearly we are at some cross-roads. A confluence of events has led us, or perhaps trailed us, to a turning point in the course of human events.
Focal points in time-space are as common in this timestream as fleas are on a junkyard dog, but this one is especially potent. What we are seeing is a cataclysmic rupture. One whose effects can be either positive or negative. The vast majority of this time of anomoly are merely key frames in a film that has only one possible outcome. We are at a fracturing point at the intersection of several dimensions where we may see a true change in the course of this universe’s life. Usually there is only one way to find out how the change will affect us: to wait. Only a special type of mage can understand the import of the situation and discern true omens when they appear.
I have good news and bad news. I am a certified and practicing mage of a suitable rank to be able to (discretely) plumb the depths and heights of our shared universe and divine from all portents the True Meanings at times exactly like this one. Unfortunately, I have detected omens and portents that do not bode well at all.
Behold my methods and interpret the results for yourself!

That is the price you pay for your meal and that is the price your soul pays for our collective misdeeds and poor karma. Make preparations for the Other World! Be prepared, for that is the Scout Motto!
The situation is dire, but if this plane of existance still exists by the Full Beaver Moon then you will know we have persevered the onslaught.
