Bad Moon Over Astoria

  • Episode One: Thomas and Warner saw and heard something odd going on inside the center the night before classes began. They investigated, but hearing strange noises they couldn't readily identify, ended up fleeing the scene. The next day, the weight training center was discovered spattered with blood, with several free weights imbedded in one of the walls.
