Zo takes a vacation in the Big Apple fully intending on visiting the Statue of Liberty.

It seems that one of the tourists is on the outside and jumping around the massive and complex scaffolding that had been erected around the statue. It seems as though this crazy fel...

Zo wants to go on an adventure in the Australian Outback, but in order to do it he'll need a guide. As a man of the urban spaces and city living he would consider it unwise in the least and ultimately a death wish to go about trooping into the wilds of Australia without a proper guide. Indeed, he's found one. A man whom the locals call "Mick". A man that Zo found to be charismatic, fun-loving, thr...

Zo, having served in the military, can empathize with people who become disaffected, unmotivated or uninspired with their chosen profession. Such people might have chosen to engage with their career path believing that they might accomplish great things only to be confronted with tedious and seemingly meaningless work. Like a certain Lt. Chris Burnett, a U.S. Naval aviator who has found himself ru...

Zo is at the end of the twentieth century in Las Angeles as it promises to be the grandest place to celebrate the coming of the year 2000.

Among all of this carefully controlled chaos is a guy that tried to sell Zo o...

Zo is on vacation in Paris, France and expected this visit to at least be peaceful, but he finds that he must duck and cover as though he was in his own neighborhood around the suburbs of DC as gunfire seemingly erupt out of nowhere and he has to dodge cars driving insanely on the narrow and claustrophobic streets of the metropolitan European city. What could be happening? This seems to be more th...

Zo is enjoying a day in New York City, but there's an unsettling crime wave going on. It seems that there are police reports of decapitated bodies seemingly showing up in various places in New York and New Jersey.

Zo, while vacationing in Las Angeles, narrowly avoids getting caught up in a hostage situation. There was a club nearby that he thought about checking out, but he skipped it because this dance club didn't have the vibe that he was looking for.

Zo is on vacation in San Francisco and notices something peculiar while riding the bus at night. An elderly woman comes on board the bus obviously tired from a long days work. Zo notices that her thigh high stockings had slid down past her knees and the knees on this woman are boney and hairy.

Zo happens to be in the Midwest just hanging out and checking the sites when he sees a news alert at a restaurant that he happens to be dining at.

Zo finds himself in New York City for the holidays. The crowds of people seem joyful. The air is cool and crisp, and there's a shop nearby proclaiming to have the world's greatest coffee. Also, rather bizarrely, there's a very tall man who seemed to have enough Christmas cheer for the entire city. He seems extraordinarily positive and happy. He's almost literally bouncing between the walls of the...

Zo got a chance to meet his favorite schlock horror movie producer, Harry Zimm, while visiting Las Angeles. At this chance meeting Zo also met an associate of Mr. Zimm who avoided directly giving out his name or any real personal information.

Zo got into some slight legal issues when visiting Las Angeles. He figures that he could use a lawyer that knows how to . . . bend the truth. He's heard a rumor of this guy who, apparently, lies all the time (allegedly). The attorney, Fletcher Reede, is said to be very talented, and he works at a very prestigious law firm. As long as the guy isn't overly ethical then Zo feels that he'll win his ca...

Zo goes to LA to check out the homes there. He's looking at the neighborhoods, checking out the crime stats and investigating the night life.
