Moonlight Over a Printed Face Revised Edition

Tonight, we look back at the tale that started this entire podcast series. Roughly two years ago, I released Moonlight Over a Printed Face. It was the first tale in the Ruined Village Podcast and it introduced us to five of the main architects of the Ruin that is plaguing the village. To commemorate the release of that tale, I am releasing a revised edition of it. That means the text was revised and then re-recorded. However, the tale is the same as it was when it was released two years ago.             Since then, the narrative has expanded to the point that I have a hard time remembering what is even going on sometimes. Nevertheless, the village endures. As does the ruin. So let’s look back at the start of it all. On that fateful night, a man of intemperate inclination was on his way home from work, and he was not altogether happy about it. He soon found himself stuck on a crowded escalator due to the self-righteous machinations of the Turkey. While waiting for his chance to escape, the man noticed a presence behind him. He turned to see a mysterious figure with a printed face covering its own staring at him. Beneath the soulless face printed on paper, hate-filled eyes stared with escalating rage at the doomed soul in front of him.             Our pathetic hero attempted to escape in the crowd, but the figure followed him. He took a bus to his home, but the figure got on the same bus and sat next to him. He left the bus and walked down darkened streets. The figure followed him still. Left with no choice, he confronted the figure and demanded to know what the hell was going on. Unfortunately, they were not alone. For in their foolishness, they attracted the attention of two entities that have forever terrified the village. Those two doomed souls heard the conflict, and they wanted to take their share of the madness.             This tale contains suspense, violence, excessive alcohol consumption, themes of urban decay, excessive use of public transportation, and mistrust in authority figures. Moreover, it contains instances of public disorder and profanity. Listener discretion is advised.
