Major Spoilers Poll of the Week\\n
A number of home security options have appeared over the years, but with the coming apocalypse (no, not THAT Apocalypse), home protection is going to be at a premium. While bazookas, slings and arrows, and any number of MOABs will work, alternate options have appeared that might work, and be fun at the same time.

Monica has stopped questioning her own sanity and started questioning the world around her. Oh, she might still be crazy, but Tepoz, the Aztec God of Alcohol is real, and really did summon the fractured remains of a chimera in the form of three drunk college girls. Who know the power to lay waste to civilization was so sexy?

\\n\\n

Monica\\u2019s friends will help her keep her grounded, but can they be trusted with the secret to the end... and the beginning... of the world?

\\n\\n

Wapsi Square\\u2019s dark humor and macabre fantasy create a world almost exactly like the one you want to believe you live in.
