When you go to Florida, everybody has a list of things to cross off their bucket list…

Visit the Everglades & go gator watching. Head down to Miami Beach to soak in the sun. Try some of the freshest oranges straight from the world-famous groves. It’s a haven for golf lovers all year round, so have a put! Heck, frikkin’ Disney World & Universal Orlando!?! The Sunshine State has it all & more.

Just watch out for Florida Man… Sorry… You don’t know Florida Man?

According to sources “Florida Man is an Internet Meme first popularised in 2013, referring to an alleged prevalence of people performing irrational or maniacal actions in the U.S state of Florida.”

For example;

·       “Florida Man arrested for practicing karate on swans”

·       “Florida Man dances on patrol car to escape vampires”

·       “Florida Man abducts scientist to make his dog immortal”

·       “Florida Man calls 911 to talk about Hitler”

·       “Florida Man charged with assault with a deadly weapon after throwing alligator through drive-thru window”

…& we’re barely scratching the surface. Some of the headlines go a little deeper & darker, but we’ll leave that up to you in your own time.

A backhand conspiracy theory suggests these incidents across the state are committed by a singular suspect, or at the very least, a society of people colluding with one another. Now it’s time to find out who Florida Man really is!!

In a not so far off dystopian future, over in the United States, it’s November 5th, & election night is upon us!!

Whatever your past, your passion (some would say obsession) has brought you to this present. You might be an internet fanatic who has fantasised a discovery like this, arriving to Florida on a whim by plane with nothing but a laptop. Or you’re a rundown journalist whose best years are behind them, & so you’ve driven hundreds of miles across state lines, risking your reputation in search of your last big story. Perhaps you’re a peppy young detective who’s lived your whole life in Florida, & your eagerness to prove yourself could well lead to your infamy.

You above so many others began to spot strange markings appearing within each new Florida Man headline. CCTV, news bulletins, magazines, online clickbait, they all show these markings that you can no longer ignore. Could this be the connection to bring some fact to the conspiracies? & so you get in your car, on your bike, on the next bus, plane or train & set out for The Rum Runner Tiki Bar, the last known location of a Florida Man crime.

You don’t know what this could all mean, but if something can come out of this, it’ll hit every national news station like a Floridian hurricane.

Bring whatever you need for the trip, you might be here a while…

But be warned. Florida can be a strange place. As you travel to the establishment, you pass a worn-down pawn shop, playing music from an antique radio. Among the static, a song speaks out into the street, & you heed the words…

“Any fragile soul can be a Florida Man.” – Blue Oyster Cult
