— Jim C. Hines (@jimchines)Sat, Jul 15 2017 19:04:12 - Cut to 6 MONTHS AGO. Man in a Kaiser helmet emerges from a taxi. Nobody blinks an eye. I remember 1982 fashion differently. #MazeMonsters

Mom redecorated the guy's bedroom as an early birthday present. Somehow I don't think the RPGs are the real problem here... #MazeMonsters pic.twitter.com/5qRlh1Ax3Chttps://twitter.com/jimchines/status/886302873730068481
