October 31st, 1928

Four years after NYU, I bought a book at a local yard sale about natural disasters and catastrophes. The name of the book is pretty irrelevant, but it was what was inside that really shook me up.

When I turned to page 168, Chapter 7: Rock Disasters, a newspaper clipping fell from the book. I almost dropped it the second I picked it up. There he was again: R. Chang. This time however, the tragedy takes place almost FIFTY YEARS PRIOR. The article even states his age at the time as 54 years old.

Naturally, one will argue that these are obviously two different persons. One named Ronald and the previous named Rodney. This would also make sense considering the same person would be 104 years old at the time of the mining accident in the preceding post.

But we're starting to see another trend here: Rocks.

Unfortunately, the rest of the article is missing. Upon further investigation, this article most likely came from "The San Francisco Chronicle", a newspaper that went bust in the 1950's when the Beatnik movement took over the city. What is more intriguing is that the archives of the newspaper were being stored on Alcatraz Island, the infamous prison, but were incinerated during a mysterious fire that broke out during the Native American occupation in the 1960's. Please note that Alcatraz is commonly nicknamed, "The Rock".
