And with that, I'll start us off!
Week One
![[Image: 7.png]](https://www.random.org/playing-cards/7.png)
The King of Hearts is drawn.
A young boy starts digging at the ground, and unearths a thick cable, sheathed in black rubber and almost a foot thick. Trying to unearth it proves fruitless, it runs parallel to the main highway.
It could be a phone line, or fibre optic, but it could also be a power cable. No way to tell with what's been unearthed so far if it's even still live. (This being "unexpected" depends on the current and pre-apocalyptic tech levels of this world+this town, so I'm leaving it up in the air for now!)
---
I now choose to Start a Project.
Some folks want to survey the canyon bed for resources/water/shelter/whatever. Due to the community's rope shortage, this is going to entail a lot of jury-rigging to create a means of safely transporting people+supplies down to the canyon's base.
Support for the plan is tepid, so four or five friends with more ambition than sense will be working on this on their downtime.
Scouting the canyon out, and installing lifts/ladders/platforms etc allowing access to the canyon bed will take five weeks.

or...
An old man confesses to past crimes and atrocities. What has he done?

peace to the unsung peace to the martyrs | i'm johnny rotten appleseed
clouds is shaky love | broke as hell but i got a bunch of ringtones
eyes blood red bruise aubergine | Sue took something now Sue doesn't sleep | saint average, day in the life of
woke up in the noon smelling doom and death | out the house, great outdoors
staying warm in arctic blizzard | that's my battle 'til I get inanimate | still up in the same clothes living like a gameshow
