85. Cheesman Park

The Rockies are a terror. The fact that the Colorado night sky isn’t lit up every night with a churning air-ocean of the spirits of people who have been lost to the mountains is testament to the fact that ghosts don’t glow. ‘Cause they’re up there. Oh, yes. They’re up there.

This is the story of Cheesman Park. Come for the ghosts, stay for the worst day of the year, kids are like starfish, the sexiest cherries, stick fort castle doctrine, the blue organ, landscaping and vivisection, My First Reinterment, and mountain viking funerals.

You can find Apocalypticon here!
