You know, it *wasn’t* a busy day.
So where did the time go? Very strange. Very, very strange. I should probably take it as a hint and go to bed early.

Figured out who the cultists were!

TIME TRAP is apparently one of DUST’s older movies. It’s funny, a bit macabre, and very, very Australian. Worth a watch.
