Sneak Peek: Episode 20 Goes Live Friday, June 18th

Latest Exquisite Corpse Adventure Episode Written by Steven Kellogg

In our last episode of The Exquisite Corpse Adventure 19, by Shannon Hale, our heroes found Genius Kelly, the pig, beneath a chestnut tree. Their delight was short-lived. The wolf attacked and Nancy killed it, releasing the eggy being inside who signaled his fellow aliens. Joe, Nancy, and Roberta realized that her robot legs were still running through time. The three of them formed a human (and robot) chain to grab them while Hathi, Sybil, and Genius Kelly prepared for the attacking aliens. The legs appeared, the three tackled them, and Roberta snapped them on. Unfortunately, the chaos of capturing the legs threw Joe, Nancy, and Roberta into a different time dimension. One without Hathi, Sybil, and Genius Kelly.

In Episode 20 by Steven Kellogg, what happens to Leonardo Dubenski, the evilest villain in all of Villiandom? Who saves Hathi, Sybil, and Genius Kelly, the pig? What is he traveling in? Where are Nancy, Joe, and Roberta?
