Day Purple

Beth pushed open the door and looked around the very empty front room. Her recent work in Moab had done nothing for her mood. Nothing could replace the void that had come in the absence of Erin and Grosland. Despair gnawed at her chest and she fell to her knees with an anguished cry. The apartments around her had not been inhabited since the laundry room massacre, and the silence was becoming unbearable. After a moment's mad contemplation, she lurched to her feet and walked unsteadily towards the back rooms. She fumbled for the hall light and--with it's flickering light--she noticed the silhouette of a large object in Grosland's room. Her eyes adjusted, and she grinned when she recognized what it was.

The time machine was there. With luck, Grosland had managed to repair it before she'd died.

So, is the time machine to explain the confusion with the days? And is day purple to just declare outright that everything is messed up so why not go with it?

As for the gnawing of your chest, are you sure it's not the goblins?

Purple is usually a good way to declare screwage. :D
