Email Address           : [redacted]
Misc. Author Info       : I like to make and share things, but also prefer to
                          keep a quiet presence and not draw attention to
                          myself. It's a conundrum.

Description             : It's 5 A.M., cloudy and threatening to rain as you
                          drive down the desert highway, your ancient,
                          beloved truck's engine furious about how long it's
                          been driven. You aren't looking forward to going
                          back to work after a time away from the big city,
                          but this might just give you an excuse to put it
                          off.

                          And then with a final wail and muffled thud, it
                          gives up, and streaks of flame flash through the
                          gaps in the hood. You didn't know it was even
                          possible for an engine to fail like that. Extended
                          vacation it is, then. You debate how long of a walk
                          it might be to find the nearest payphone so you
                          don't get fired, as your truck slowly rolls to a
                          stop.

                          ... In front of a large structure. Hm. Maybe they
                          have a phone?

                          You climb out of the truck, but pause. There's a
                          tingle in the air, and you feel like you're being
                          watched. If the corps taught you anything, it was
                          to never, ever, ignore that feeling...

                          At the edge of perception, you swear you hear a
                          distant, howling scream. You can smell cooked meat
                          and ozone. Something's not right.

                          You turn back and take your sidearm and a few
                          magazines out of the glovebox. Just in case.

                          -------------------------------------------------

                          Squenched Avacausage is a quest through the strange
                          and unsettling world of SquenchCon International
                          Food-Similar Products Ltd. and its many (evil)
                          subsidiaries.

                          It will take you to such exciting locales as an
                          (evil) office building, a train, too many factories,
                          the bottom of the ocean, Heck itself, and even a
                          landfill...
