A brief passage where nothing happens, they just wander in circles and end up at the same place again, this is a recurring nightmare

(Cont.)

Then the division being led by Moses went wandering from one forlorn location to the next. They were spiraling into the wasteland like something spinning down the drain. First, they set forward, and pitched in Dullsville, just outside of Munchkin Country. Then they journeyed from Dullsville, and pitched at No-Go Zone, in the sticks, out past the badlands, toward the sunsetting.

From there, they removed, and pitched in the channel of Wazoo, which is a dried-up riverbed.

From there they removed, and pitched on the other side of the gulf, known as Distant Shores, which is in the desolate land that comes out of the coasts of the Columbians: for Distant Shores borders the sticks of the badlands, where the markets of finance abandoned Libertas; wherefore it is said in The Book of the Crimes of the Gods:

O! what Mammon did within the Red Ocean, that gave it that name, and in the brooks of the Distant Shores, and at the flow of the River of Ravage that gushes down to Woop Woop, in the first abyss of Tohu Bohu, and ends within a stone’s throw of the sticks.

And from there they went to Lynch Peak yet again: that is one of the many places where Moses almost got lynched. (How often have I repeated this bit of scandal?) It’s also known as Fallout Rock, because of the fallout that Moses experienced with the multitudes there, and it is rumored that this is the very place where they killed him. It is the well about which the Volcano said, “Gather the people together, and I will give them water.” For the people were almost dead from thirst, for the umpteenth time, due to habitual neglect; and they blamed this on Moses, while encoding the following riddle:

Spring up, O blood from the rock; and sing ye unto it: 

The Prince of Deception digged a well,  

The nobles of the Empire bunged it,  

By the direction of the lawgiver Mammon. 

Yahweh and Moses took their staves, freed the flow; 

Yahweh atop and Moses below. 

Two struck once, and all struck back.

It’s a very old song, from a scroll that is no longer in print.

And from the Ever-Returning Twin Peaks of Bloodstone, they went to Timbuktu:

And from Timbuktu to Kalamazoo: and from Kalamazoo to Peru: and from Peru up the Wazoo to Bumhump: then from Bumhump to Podunk:

And from Podunk in the valley, that is in the badlands, out in the sticks, to the Peak of Pisgah, the Place of Postponed Promises, which looks toward the wasteland of Jeshimon, in the Middle of Nowhere.

(FUN FACT: Pisgah is that same hill where the Volcano lives.)
