Nightmare (not really)
So my new job is some sort of inspector… Maybe a surveyor. My assignment is Murtock Nevada.
What’s strange about Murtock is in the hundreds of years that this department has been in existence…. Murtock has never been inspected.
The first inspector Jack Cranston was sent in 1798, and was never heard from again. The same with Bob Woodard in 1823 and all the rest that were sent out.
So I drive to Murtock… My car breaks down right out at the edge of town. So I go walking in. It reminds me of that abandoned (ghost) town on adam 12. Except it’s populated.
I went into to the cafe. It looked amazingly like Linda’s in yc (black and white tiles, a counter to sit at, tables to seat family’s). I want to sit at a table. I order a sandwich and pie.
Sitting at the counter are both Bob and Jack. I thought I’d sit next to Jack and talk to him while I wait on my order.
Are you Jack Cranston? Yup
The surveyor? Yup
Sent out on 1798? Yup
Who never returned to the office? Yup
My food is being delivered…
Why not? I couldn’t - didn’t want to.
I go back to the table.
Hmm… Bob didn’t say any thing. They didn’t want to leave or they couldn’t? They remind my somewhat of the younger brothers on animal kingdom, not hundreds of years old. Is there a mysterious curse around the town?

Just coming into an old ice cream parlor. It's rather bright. The floor has black and white tiles. There's a shiny bar with sold made with chrome, and red leather cushions. Against the walls are booths with red leather seating. A couple of those booths are occupied.
