I wonder if Hornblende will believe Mark when he tell him of his knowledge of Orion...

So, this is the night Oren

Posted on Fri, 16 Jul 2021

So, this is the night Oren has been waiting for. Mark has definitely lost the plot, and his poor inocent dog Eddie didn't stand a chance, very sad.

Loosing loved ones is

Posted on Tue, 13 Jul 2021
