You know when I told you the joke about how a friend will help you move, but a real friend will help you move a body? I was only kidding. ↗

Things like this don't happen back in Libertyville, Illinois. You don't get lost in the woods behind your house. You don't get trapped inside a fortress-like wall ten feet tall. ↗
