Week 5: Pumpkin Carving
Webster Cassell and Johnny Hawkins perform a sacrifice to the Great Old Ones.
(Mistakatonic University Press) - The Seoul loss was a disaster in Arkham. Attempts to integrate bench players were a total failure, and Coach Guye could only stand on the sidelines and watch as his unprepared team was dismembered by the Choson.
"The loss was my fault, 100 percent," said Guye. "The AMI has been grumbling about it since Saturday, apparently the hunger it feels is directed towards me. I need a fantastic effort from everyone on the roster this week, or my next position for the team could be Head Zombie."
Avoiding the Hundred Mouths won't be easy, as Arkham faces off against the Haddonfield Pumpkins this week. Recent trades have only strengthened Commissioner George's team. If that wasn't difficult enough, the Grave Robbers will meet New Deal and Long Beach in the two following weeks.
"We have the most difficult schedule in the league. We didn't expect to start out 3-1, but we still feel we can give any team in the APFL a good game. Hopefully the AMI won't get too hungry before we get a couple more wins."
