Learn. Protect. Tales from the Crypt Chris Harvey Welcome to the Crypt... Mrs Clayton, Mr Maitland, Mr Elliot, Mr Jason, Mr Rogers... Beyond the doors there is a chamber hollowed out of solid stone, a chamber lit by torches, huge with flat rocks scattered about, and with something vaguely resembling a table at the far end. Beyond the table stands a throne made from slabs of uncut stone. If there is any way out of this chamber, other than the door by which you have entered, it is not visible... in other words, ladies and gentlemen - you are trapped! TALES FROM THE CRYPT! Guaranteed to keep you awake into the dark and lonely night!Trapped in catacombs that smell of ancient death, five forsaken people - four men and a woman - pour out the foul secrets of their fetid souls to a strange, sinister, black-robed monk...Joanne... who wanted one thing from Santa Claus - murder!Maitland... forever doomed to a living, waking nightmare...Elliot... this heartless young man received visitors from The Volley Bubble Ci Michel Ever wondered what life as a professional volleyball player looks like? Sounds like? Smells like? (I can't help you there...) But I can bring you real, candid and (mostly) uncut conversations between professional female volleyball players. 10-year pro player, 2012 Olympian and YouTube creator, Ci Michel (thats me!) is road-trippin' though Europe on a mission to shed light on pro volleyball, the 2020 CoVID season, and life in the 'Volley Bubble'...
