Instead of regular zombies, New York City gets badly-declaiming-historic-poetry zombies. Special guest star: Sahara
Following up on prior teamwork, Wyldfire members and Sahara meet undercover at New York City sandwich chain 'Wichcraft, taking some time to get better acquainted, when a nearby teenager's laptop starts blaring a live sound feed:
{female voice, college age}: OhmyGAWD! It's got Doctor Charlestin!
{incomprehensible jumble of several voices at once}
{male voice, elderly}: Is that a ... zombie?! Get back here, get behind the {incomprehensible}
CRASHING NOISES, SOUNDS OF GLASS SHATTERING AND ROCKS FALLING {distant voice, possibly amplified by radio or loudspeaker}: The time's neither wrong nor right; I have been acquainted with the night!
TIRES SQUEAL, HORNS BLARE, CRUNCHING NOISE
{another possibly-amplified, similar voice}: What happens to a dream deferred? Does it stink like rotten meat?
{almost simultaneously, perhaps the first amplified voice}: I'm a poor underdog, but tonight I will bark! With the great Overdog that romps through the dark!
{voices fade into the background, as if microphone is moving away from sound sources}
The teenage kid looks up toward the tables seated by the window. "This is supposed to be just a couple blocks away, can you see anything?"

Tales of Justice is a work of pure, unabashed fiction. In fact, it considers itself rather heroic and quite proud of itself. Names of characters, places, events, organizations, and locations are creations of the author's imagination for this fictitious setting. Some have been inspired by other sources, which will be credited at the top right of the article.
