“Atlantic Dale is a shitty town, mostly.”
---
The fourteenth story in The Neverglades: Multiverse Chronicles and the first Everglades parody story.
Town constable Mike Hannity finds himself in over his head when inexplicably mangled bodies start turning up all over town. Thankfully, a mysterious federal agent (whose full name is classified) is also on the case. Strange things are happening in the Everglades, but is a local cryptid to blame, or something far more mundane…?

Notes[]
- This story was first posted to r/NoSleep in October 2020 as part of its Halloween event, in which subreddit rules were relaxed for twenty-four hours. It is an affectionate parody of the first Neverglades story, “Lost Time.”
- Detective Smith mentions hearing news of a wendigo out west, which may allude to the events of the Neverglades story “The Wendigo.”
