Okay here’s a post O scenario . . .

Our little city is in the dumps . . .

Until . . .

. . . hey presto Bobbie “everything will be allright (for him) will grasp the oppo . . .

. . . the Chinese government has just given its hoi polloi permission to come here . . .

And come here they will . . . in droves . . . clutching those rapidly depreciating green backs . . .

To buy up OV @ bargain prices . . .

. . . and we’ll all be camping out in Michael Gelding designed luxury shipping containers . . .

Hell why not . . . we did it to them last century . . .

Thanks anyway, but on the rare occasions when I have a yen to read horror stories I generally prefer the likes of H.P. Lovecraft.
Of course, there’s always the Campbell-as-Cthulhu angle…
