Off and On Again

A privileged elite thrust from a dying world, an exiled criminal making his escape with a bounty of fuel and fireworks, or over-reliance on GPS leading to a Sunday drive gone terribly awry.

In the absence of suitably challenging woolly mammals, games barely satiate my musk-soaked blood-lust, yet they serve to postpone calamity sufficiently until:
