City of Shadows, City of Light

Просмотров 1Месяц назад

There were twin cities, once. Because of the stone they could quarry, one city was black and the other was white. They were called by those that lived there The City of Shadows and the City of Light, though their official names had far less poetry in them. They sat on either side of a great tidal river that was so wide it was hard to see one bank from the other. Jem and Ez met in their boats in...

Be Careful What You Wish For

Просмотров 22 месяца назад

I’m sitting on my uncle’s headstone, drinking a glass of claret. He always used to tell me: be careful what you wish for, which never made much sense to me. Why on earth would I want to do that? Wish wildly, wish with abandon - that’s always been much more my style. Thanks for listening. I hope you enjoy the story. If you do, and want more - become a podcast patron on Patreon!

The White Moth

2 месяца назад

I sit on the shore with a photograph I've never seen before, remembering another photograph, that tore my family apart. My therapist says I need closure, but I'm pretty sure that hope is dead. Pandora's white moth, crushed underneath the rest of the mess when she finally opens the box... Thanks for listening. I hope you enjoy the story.

Bolt doesn't know what kind of man he is, or what kind of man he'd like to be. The stories he tells about himself change each time they're told, until he no longer knows the truth of them. He goes back to his own beginnings, and he's not sure if the woman he takes from the darkness is a betrayal or a rescue... perhaps he will never find out. Thanks for listening. I hope you enjoy the story. If ...

The Invaders

Просмотров 13 месяца назад

I’m an invader. I’m going to find my way through the maze town, built to confuse and protect the palace. I’m going to get into the palace. And I did it. It was too easy. But I didn’t have the sense to be afraid until it was too late… Thanks for listening. I hope you enjoy the story. If you do, and want more - become a podcast patron on Patreon!

The Complaints Department - Drawing Mia

Просмотров 13 месяца назад

Mia posts drawings into the Complaints Department letterbox, but so many of her conversations are one sided, it never occurs to her that perhaps someone might talk back until she starts finding drawings all over the city. Drawings almost the same as her own, except for one thing - in these new drawings, she isn't alone, isn't unseen. Slowly, she starts to feel less alone... This is the eighth s...

The girl who summoned a fire spirit and left with it for a life of adventure is back, and she's in trouble - she trapped the spirit in a bottle at the bottom of the ocean, and because her life is tied to the spirits, she's not ...

Hall of Mirrors

Просмотров 13 месяца назад

I found a ticket to an unusual circus and got lost in a hall of mirrors, and I didn’t like what they showed me. The ringmaster told me this was no ordinary circus - that everyone there was the act they came to see. He asked me if I liked my act and I had to say no, I didn’t like it at all. To which he replied: if you don’t like your act, change it… Thanks for listening. I hope you enjoy the sto...
