The No Sleep Podcast is proud to present Part 2 of our special two-part extended edition,

featuring the epic series of stories written by the Redditor known as 1,000 Vultures.

To lead you on the journey, the author himself will introduce you to his series, Entitled Pen-Powl.

Hi, my name is Nathan Hauerbach. On the author of a series of six stories posted on No Sleep that I've

details might all be present in your mind, those scattered in disarrayed, and then a single thought

can stitch them back together almost instantly. I never thought of these events much because I was

focused on the wrong details. I went back to my mom's house and went through my old childhood

schoolwork looking for something that I think is important. I couldn't find it but I'll keep looking.

Most old cities and the neighborhoods in them weren't planned with the thought that the

population would begin to grow exponentially and it would have to be accommodated. The layout of

the roads is generally originally in response to geographical restrictions and the necessity of

connecting points of economic importance. Once the connecting roads are established, new businesses

and roads are positioned strategically along the existing skeleton and eventually the paths

carved into the earth are mortalized and asphalt, leaving a room only for minor modifications,

additions, and alterations, but never a dramatic change. My childhood neighborhood must have been old.
