Junior Ranger and the Mystery of Injun Glenn’s Cave

Bro Joe wrote a marvelous article about being a Junior Ranger, the highlight of which was a touching anecdote about how he lost his hiking hat with his Junior Ranger pins attached to it and how the folks at the various parks he asked for help from were so kind in sending replacements.

When Hack heard the story, he was far too drunk to comprehend it but it made enough of an impression that (after waking up in a pool of his own tears and vomit a few days later) he was able to pen this novelization of Joe’s adventure as he understood it. It’s a pretty solid read.

No Shit, Sherlock

Hack penned this while alternately bingeing episodes of the BBC Sherlock Holmes series with Jeremy Brett, Sherlock with Benedict Cumberbatch and old Sherlock Holmes movies with Basil Rathbone while playing the storm sequence from Back to the Future on YouTube on a loop in the background, all while guzzling Jack Daniels. He doesn’t remember writing a word of it but he woke up in a pool of his own tears and vomit with the manuscript in a neat pile next to his typewriter.
