And those stories arent just coming from rummies or saps who read that epitaph rag.Still there are a few heroes left in the concrete jungle. Steely-eyed private dicks fast-talking grifters wild-eyed inventors and shadowy houngans still struggle against the encroaching darkness. With enough moxie--and more than a little luck--they might just be enough to turn the tide.This is just one story.
