I built a new game: World Without End
I found this puzzle in the back of an old magazine from 1985. It's a geography puzzle. It's not difficult or long.
I'm on the fediverse! Say "hi"

I'm featured in Magpies Magazine with my friend Pat Lambe.
"An Anchored Friendship is a beautiful recording collaboration made by author/artist Pat Lambe and composer Jason Bonthron. This neo-noir short story features the Iowa State Police, a displaced bounty hunter, a broken farmer, and his local cop acquaintance caught in a Mexican stand-off in a gasoline-soaked corn field. Excessive drinking and an overzealous rookie armed with a brand-new 55-caliber sniper rifle aren't helping the situation."
"Like all good noir, this is about so much more than the plot itself. This story is about dark and light, ice and fire, strength and frailty. The finely observed details speak to us of friendship, memory, hopes, regrets, duty, and the way life passes at its own incomprehensible pace following its own incomprehensible rules. Jason Bonthron's perfectly measured score adds a depth of resigned melancholy to the proceedings."
