Journal Entry 3

Posted on July 3, 2026 by Marshal

I take back the “I’m bored” thing. Bear Country held a meeting tonight to discuss what could be done about our missing fuel. The consensus was nothing. Asking for the fuel back wasn’t an option, taking the fuel back wasn’t … Continue reading →

Journal Entry 4

Posted on July 6, 2026 by Marshal

Tony is getting worse and the Runt is missing. I couldn’t find him anywhere this morning. He didn’t show for breakfast. His bike is also missing. He is too little to be out in the city alone. It would be … Continue reading →

Journal Entry 8

Posted on July 15, 2026 by Marshal

It has been a long day. Matt and Jonas have still not returned with the Runt. I am keeping my fingers crossed that the Runt is doing fine and that the Central Bobcats didn’t catch him. Tony was his best … Continue reading →
