So. Rasquatche. This being. rather open ended prompt, I opted to fully commit to the “use only what you have” which I belive worked well for the underdolg, run-down sort of vibe. Washed-up-never-has-been So. Lets break down these artifacts. We have cottonwood leaves, discarded mail, a forgotten beer, some dice, and a crumpled bag of…

Of course, the main barrier here is hours dedicated.…
