Catching Up on the Latest with 365 Infantry

The Byte of the Week
This week’s paid story somehow manages to dial things back and crank them up over 11. The story is “That Kind of Car Ride” and follows the downhome Bette Garret and her son, Hell Patrolman Harrison Garret. The two reminisce about the family’s automotive fixation while heading to see father and husband Rod Garret who is being honorably discharged from the Force after years of service.
In this story, the destination is least important, for the journey is most amusing for this Wasteland-dwelling family. Hope you enjoy!
May God Bless You and this Force! See you next time!
