Notes: TW rule #37 - always carry something edible

The disused cannery down by the docks was not ideal for hunting down a hoix.

The whole place still reeked of rotting mackerel and mildew.

‘I remember coming here once on a school excursion,' Gwen noted. 'The place smelled so awful I held my nose for the entire three hours.’

A low growl came from behind some nearby machinery.

‘What have you got that I can feed it?’ asked Jack.

‘Um,’ she said, patting down her pockets. ‘Chewing gum?’

‘That’ll do. Besides, if it’s joining us in the back of the SUV, might not hurt for it to have minty breath.’
