Date: 2087-08-06 By: Jaxon 'Zero' Rook
Zero (Host): Folks, we have a true crime episode this week that you might like. Six guys, all young, all single. They disappear on the same stretch of highway in Northfield, Minnesota. Local police? “Probably nothing, not our problem” they say. Weeks later, their bodies and cars show up parked by the river. What do you think?
Crow (guest): It’s interesting, there’s a local urban myth in that area about a Woman in White, some sort of spirit who hitchhikes that road, preying on drivers, specifically single men.
Zero (Host): Rookie mistake. If a mysterious woman in a white dress asks for a lift at two in the morning, you keep driving.
Crow (guest): Unless she’s hot.
Zero (Host): That’s how they get you….you’ve seen the trids right? Some schmuck thinks he’s going to get lucky and then next think you know his head is getting eaten off.
Crow (guest): Yeah I don’t know, what if it’s something more mundane, like a serial killer? It’s entirely possible that some twisted frag is just hiding in the woods killing people.
Zero (Host): No way. If it was something that mundane the police would have been all over that. I’m telling you, there’s a reason why they stayed away from this case. You know what this feels like? A megacorp coverup. Just like Bug City.
Crow (guest): What?!? You’re saying this is a conspiracy?
Zero (Host): 100% Everybody knows Aztechnology has been experimenting with Wendigos, maybe one got loose and is roaming the woods in Northfield right now.
Crow (guest): Wow, world’s gone to drek.
Zero (Host): You bet, so for our guests listening in, if you’re driving through the woods at night and you see a wendigo come out from the trees….
Crow (guest): You better keep driving…..
Zero (Host): Or else you’re ending up as content on the next episode of the Zero Zone Podcast!
