His Plans: Go to Montreal, spend time catching up with long-time girlfriend, eat well and do lots of cuddling.
What Actually Happened: Train to Montreal broke down outside of Belleville in -25 weather. After winning a survival of the fittest competition I became the leader of car 5’s new post-apocalyptic winter society. As their leader, I reinstated the right of Prima Nocta and mated with the women, and some men, on the train as part of a debaucherous new Valentine’s Day ritual known as Gamunga.
