Consolation is not on the Map

By: Neil Fitzgerald
  • Summary

  • A Western, of sorts.


    When a mysterious hole opens up in Consolation, a stranger also arrives to document the event. The two events must be linked in someway, at least that's what thinks our narrator, a black dwarf who works at the GiddyTimes saloon thinks.

  • A Hole Appears (1863) - Part 1
    Jun 16 2024

    No man had made it, that we knew. Not time enough, for it was the work of one night, and not even, but a minute, maybe less. Soft thunder that woke most who heard it as muffled cannon fire or dynamite down a mineshaft in their dreams.


    A mysterious hole appears in Consolation, which soon draws in prospectors, charlatans, and other poor misguided wretches from all over Zobesland. Then one day, an even stranger stranger appears.

  • A Hole Appears (1863) - Part 2
    Jun 23 2024

    Rumour had it that Redchops and his gang had been spotted raisin’ hell over in Forbearance, a town known for its leniency with hell-raisers.


    The arrival of hell-raiser Redchops will have terrible consequences for the new stranger in town, especially when the latter makes a bizarre proclamation about the mysterious hole.
