“Dear Daddy, hope you come back soon, I’m sad you're possessed by the monster that possessed me, but don’t worry, my Uncles are helping my Faery Punk Mother fight monsters now! Maybe one day they’ll fight the monster in you too! Love, Penny" Penny Dreadmill is a 6 year old girl who used to be possessed of an outer force. Her uncles stopped that, straight up exorcised her of the darkness and they thought that was that. Well the door in her mind wasn’t fully closed. Slightly ajar, she occasionally gets whispers and warnings of beasties from an entity she calls: Her Faery Punk Mother. Now the Uncles of Penny are directed by her creepy bogeyman stories to go forth and hunt these nightmares.

Note: Apparently mislabeled this actual play. Sorry about the confusion. In a 1987 that never was, strange things are happening in Boulder City, home to the US Loop. Odd dreams plaguing students and adults, strange power outages, and a unique new pen pal all crop up as a group of kids try to survive school long enough to make it to Summer Break. Will they have what it takes in order to solve the mystery without getting grounded? Probably not, but hey, that's part of the fun!
