The Penis Chronicles presents, “A fart on the wind.” We had made the long drive from our province to the Northwest Territories.

What’s Out There

It’s the middle of the night and it is so black out that I think I’ll get lost in the darkness as soon as I take a step away from the trailer. However, the old boy has to go, he just can’t make it through the night like he used to and he is quivering… Continue reading What’s Out There
