Fall Serial: Smoke-Mouth (conclusion)
Genre: Dystopian Adventure/Suspense
Length: 12 (projected) episodes
Start Date: July 25
End Date: October 11
Synopsis: Jenny-Dog is just fine on her own. Jenny-Dog needs no one and no one needs her. Until a fool young stranger shows up, says she’s walking all the way to the crippled mountain—to Lawetlat’la, to Smoke-Mouth—and asks if Jenny wants to come along.
Jenny doesn’t fancy their chances. After all, it’s over a hundred miles on a dangerous road through a once-modern region laid bare by quakes and crisis. There are many-eyed angels hovering in the summer sky, and hungry thieves lurking in the woods with violence in their hearts.
But the mountain is calling. And when Smoke-Mouth calls, the dreamers reply.
This serial will update every weekend until its conclusion in October.
