Audio production by ‘Dillo

I wrote this story a year and a half or so ago. It was one of those stories that just came to me for some reason. It helped that I had already planned out the woman to be voiced by Laura Best. Not only is she a good friend but I’ve heard her singing before and it was the perfect part that she could pull off. Besides, she could appreciate the horror aspect of the story and took it beyond what I was hearing in my head as I wrote it.

Will Ross can be found over at  Prefaces and Asides. You can also find his work over at  One Eighteen: Migration ahh the undead.

The audio production on this one was done by ‘Dillo, he doesn’t have a huge web presence at the moment….

This story takes place back during the Great Depression. I have always had a huge interest in this era and this idea just worked for that era. Realistically there is no good or bad person, they both have their evils. There’s a bigger story to be told by the woman but I haven’t gone that far with her. One day maybe……

Check out Robert R Best as well, he and Laura have this thing going on and he writes some books as well.

Okay, now that you have been well warned that there are disturbing things in this story you can listen to it. Enjoy it and spread the link around. Hope to hear what you think about this short. If you are interested in another from this era, well WW2, check out The Fall of Bottoms Up Betsy.
