Shadow Sorcerers, a Cave of Secrets, and a Furry Rodent Who's Constantly Wrong About The Weather

Shadow Sorcerers, a Cave of Secrets, and a Furry Rodent Who's Constantly Wrong About The Weather

Some dates in history collect oddities the way a junk drawer collects batteries and old keys — you open it up and wonder how all of this ended up in the same place. FEBRUARY 2ND is one of those. We've got soldiers looking up at an impossible sky, archaeologists crawling into a forgotten tomb full of mummies, a castaway whose stubbornness saved his life, a secret society that terrorized an island for decades, and a beloved rodent whose job performance would get anyone else fired. As usual, this is going to be a WEIRD and DARK morning. WeirdDarkness® is a registered trademark. Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.
