Zo was previously in a galaxy far, far away, where he witnessed fantastic events. He was then transported to another part of that same galaxy to witness those same events play out in almost the same way, but in an even weirder and goofy manor. He's now returned to the original part of that same galaxy which had somehow got even worse, weirder, goofier, and somehow sadder. It seemed like something that held enormous promise, but turned out to be a fantastic disappointment. That's the problem with

Zo had been transported to a galaxy far, far away and witnessed some fantastic events. The next thing you know he'd been transported again to another part of that same galaxy, later that same day. Except this time the space ships looked suspiciously like irons, toasters and cassette players. The people he met had even stranger names like Fluke Starbucker, Augie "Ben" Doggie, Princess Ann-Droid and Ham Salad. The galaxy is in peril and it just seems that these people aren't taking it seriously

Zo once visited a small town in Maine called Tarker's Mills. It was a quaint little place and extremely pleasant. Then, the murders started happening, once a month. It was the craziest thing that Zo had ever heard of happening in a small town. Also, he heard that the victims weren't stabbed, beaten or shot . . . they were torn apart! Whoever this crazy murderer was they seem to have a werewolf fetish. The attacks only seem to happen during a full moon. Before Zo high tailed out of that town he

In a small town he hears strange rumors of men perched on the edge of buildings like birds, a dead body of a hermaphroditic man with no eyes, and a little girl who draws pictures of impaled men. The vibe of this place is all off, and Zo finds himself uneasy and unsettled. The least credible rumor of all is that there is a war in hoven ven and that the war had spilled on to Earth. Are there Heavenly angels fighting in the

Zo had gone apartment hunting over the summer.

Zo looked at a lot of apartments, most of which he could barely afford. One particular apartment , that was well within his budget, was legitimately terrifying. It was definitely haunted. Zo definitely saw

Zo remembers that time when he spent time in Los Angeles back in the 80's and he had the most peculiar experience. It was a nice hot day even though it was around Halloween, so he thought he'd stop for a delicious treat at a nearby ice cream truck that happened to be nearby. The operator of the truck was relaxing in the passenger seat with the door open just chillin' out apparently. As Zo walked up to the chap he noticed how pale he was and that he wore all black clothes. Zo asked for an ice cream
