[[A view of the planet Earth.]]
Captain: No signs of life on quarantine planet Monday-X1-Prime.

[[A pod of some sort floats into view.]]
Captain: Wait.
Captain: Sensors fluctuating.

Captain: Something remains.

[[The pod drifts nearby a large spaceship.]]

[[The spaceship extends some sort of grabbing apparatus to retrieve the pod.]]

[[A human sleeps inside the “CRYO-STOR” pod.]]
Captain: Are you… Ridala?

[[Ridala opens her eyes in shock.]]
Captain: We are the Phryday.

[[The Phryday greets Ridala. It is an alien, with a lightbulb-shaped body and insectoid limbs.]]
Captain: We received a distress call.
Captain: We came as quickly as we could manage.

[[Ridala steps out of the pod.]]
Captain: It has been twenty thousand of your years.
Captain: But we came as quickly as we could.
Ridala: PHRYDAY! FINALLY! We can begin the rebuilding of my people!

Ridala: What’s that NOISE
Captain: Another cryo-pod?

[[The ship extends its grabber again to grab another pod.]]
Captain: Are there others of your kind?
Ridala: I… I thought not!

[[Ridala greets the wizened, crazy-eyed old man in the pod.]]
Ridala: Greetings, traveler, and wake! Twenty millenia of Monday are coming near to their end!

Old Man: Aw, THIS hardly counts as a MONDAY! Back in the war, WE saw a MONDAY!
Ridala: Who IS this

One thing you learn in the war is to grab any unattended cryo-pod you see.

The end, for real. The story began here. Closer look at the cryo-pod here!

New ways to get Bolted!

In addition to buying things directly from me, the normal way, my game Bolted! is also now available on Amazon dot com.

On that famous website, you can also get the Creature-Crafting Magnets Set, which is made of the same artwork from the game, but is just a weird little trinket (not a playable game).

My kiddo made the elaborate version below to show off just how many magnets you get in the set (it’s 150 pieces in all — this isn’t even all of them).

Also now on Amazon is my set of Multi-Purpose Greeting Cards — a full dozen cards with envelopes in a fancy, unbranded, foil-stamped box!

Event alert!

I’ll also be showing off Bolted! at Greenwood Games, an event in Seattle this Saturday:

Greenwood Games is a free, all-ages community game event that invites players to spend the afternoon walking Greenwood Avenue from 65th to 80th, collecting clues, cracking puzzles, and discovering games made right here in Washington.

Think of it as Pride Hop, ArtWalk, and the Gumshoe all rolled into one,  except the whole thing is built around games and puzzles.​

Local game designers will be set up at different places along Greenwood Avenue in Phinney Ridge (near Ballard). My specific spot will be the “Holy Mountain Phinney Ridge Taproom”. All the information about all the different games & venues is on the website!

(If you’re in Seattle generally but not free tomorrow, Bolted! is also stocked at Blue Highway Games in Queen Anne.)

Next week, I’ll be at Gen Con! I personally will be hanging with my buddy Sam Logan at BFE Webcomics, booth #1217… but I have it on good authority that copies of Bolted! will be available at the CRWN Studios booth, #2549.

Visit one booth! Then the other! The order…is up to you.
