Ladder Racing, spring 2019 (Chapter 4)
March 24th I make my morning coffee and check my phone. There's a message from an unknown number on it. _Hey, it's Paul. How are you feeling? Text me._ I have no idea how he got my number, but I recall my shoes. There might have been a phone number...

Ladder Racing, spring 2019 (Chapter 2)

Runt - Chapter 1
Day 17 Finally made it into the countryside. The roads were jam packed, so in the end, I left the car and walked. I'm not very familiar in this area, but at least out here I'll have plenty of time to get to grips with everything that has...
