Chapter 29
Continuing the tale of young Dan Fogelberg (no not that one), who fell asleep in a storm and woke in a fantastical, creepy land. Beyond that, your guess is as good as ours.

“안녕하세요!”
“What the fuck? Who said that?”
“Wasn’t me,” said Geoff.

“What the hell is that?”
“Eh, it’s not what it used to be. But it was THE place to get deals on Korean cell phones for awhile.”
“What happened to them?”
“Lowered standards, mostly. They started sharing deals from the lowest of low-rent deal-a-day sites. But you know South Korea: they love the latest and greatest in tech, even more than our techiest tech geeks. Hence the telepathic broadcasting into our brains.”
“Do you think they’re safe from the Overlords?”
“Globalism comes for us all, friend.” We sailed onward.
