    Only recently has the Mount Perry Archeological Society been able to translate the scrolls found hidden inside hundreds of clay jars, hidden deep in the dark recesses of caves found by sheep herders on the upper slopes of our beloved Mount Perry. These scrolls tell the tale of two cities located right here in Swamp County many thousands of years ago. Apparently the two cities were called Zodom and Samora.

    Zodom was located on the slopes of our beloved Mount Perry and Samora was located in what is now the swampland near Creepon Beach. Both were considered suburbs of Mount Perry itself. Unfortunately, both of these towns ran rampant with sin and debauchery.

    Somewhere along the line, two officers from the Mount Perry Police Department were sent to the two towns with instructions to force the towns to observe a civil code of conduct, or be destroyed. They were further ordered to salvage any good people in the towns and send them off to safety on the slopes of Mount Perry.

    It just so happened that in one of the towns, there lived a man called Lotsa and his rather extensive family. It seems, Lotsa was named as he was, because of his extensive family, he did indeed have lotsa children.

    Lotsa was a good man of high moral character, even if there did seem to be an awful lot of children running about. The officers from the M. P. P. D. decided Lotsa and his family should be saved from the horrible death the rest of the people in the two towns were to experience.

    In order to confirm their feelings, the two officers went to visit with Lotsa and his family. They had only been there a short time when Lotsa’s home was stormed by angry towns people.

    The angry people demanded the two officers be handed over for punishment because of their opposition to the life style of the people of Zodom and Samora.

    Naturally, Lotsa refused to hand them over. This made the towns people even angrier. In order to appease them, Lotsa agreed to turn two of his daughters over to the crowd to do with as they pleased, if they would only leave his guests alone.

    The two officers from the M. P. P. D. drew their weapons and defended Lotsa’s home. They refused to let the two girls leave the house. They drove the angry crowd back with some well placed warning shots over their heads.

    Once the crowd was gone, the two officers sat down with Lotsa and his family; they explained what they had in mind.

    Lotsa and his family were to be spared; but only if they fled up Mount Perry to some land Lotsa owned, which had caves on it. Lotsa and his family were to hide deep in the caves until the destruction of both Zodom and Samora was complete.

    They were further instructed not to look back, no matter what they heard going on behind them. The officers went on to explain that anyone who looked back would be instantly transformed into a pillar of salt. Lotsa and his family all agreed not to look back.
