EremoterraThe chronicle of Dust Bowl Retreat
Thorny scrub on dry ground, 121 m up, kept by Jago T
Every line is a record the land wrote; the names in quotes are the owner's words. What the chronicle does not say did not happen. Most lines fade after half a year; the kept ones stay.
Animals here this month: thylacine (denning), kangaroo (feeding), tasmanian devil (feeding), emu (nesting), locust (feeding).
