Mr Humbolt
Let me explain, we were not bad pupils, or bad people. We were troubled of course but those troubles were only exacerbated by our experiences with Aubrey Humbolt.

A cold day in Hell
From the diary of Phelan Tweed, Manager of People and Persecutions, Hell Inc I didn’t think this would ever happen at Hell Inc.
