The Perils of Pantyhose in the Jungle (4 of 7)
🕑 Added 2021-07-22 21:01:00 +0000 UTCThe terrain starts to become a little more steep, forcing you to lift your knees higher as you head up an incline. You’re already feeling pretty tired and each push with your flats only makes your legs feel more worn out. You go take another step but misjudge the angle, your toes bumping into the floor as you wobble and lose your balance. Not wanting to fall down the hill you instead lean forward and fall down to your knees instead, your hands slamming down to the ground as you groan from the impact. You hear your mom slowly making her way up behind you, hearing her tired breaths as she too is worn out by the combination of the unforgiving heat and the nylon encasement on her legs. You don’t know if you have the energy to make it up this hill and glance round at your mom to perhaps admit defeat.
-Markus Jones | an excerpt from: Emily and Lynda Lockwood: The Perils of Pantyhose in the Jungle

Jungle perils are some of my all time favorite from the classic pulp era. Additionally I blame Sierra games Leisure Suit Larry 3, specifically Passionate Patti, for inspiration in this sequence. Last year, I commissioned a story from Markus Jones exploring jungle themes I enjoyed, featuring Emily Lockwood and her mother, Lynda. The story was an extension or "what if" path from the CYOA Deadly Horizons (in the Tanzania location), which was the (unexpected) surprise return of Emily Lockwood after a three year hiatus. The following renders were created by me inspired by the extended story they wrote for me. I hope you enjoy the excerpt text and the images!
