Prison ships ain’t supposed to be comfortable, but that damn professor’s babbling didn’t help. Murdered his family, then lectures us? Great. “Prison planets don’t make sense!” he protested through his newly broken nose. “The economics don’t even justify the fuel, let alone the whole infrastructure!”...

I enjoyed the heck out of this one. Good stuff.

How about, "The Wish of the Demon Achtromagk"?

Children are creepy, man. One minute they'll be smiling and playing, then they'll stop and look at you and say "Will you be dead soon?" and then they're off shrieking and laughing again.

That was really, really well-done. Great story, fantastic narration. I listened to it on a long drive, and I don't know what I would have done if I'd passed a Chevy Celeb on the way...

Most enjoyable. I spent the whole time convinced that the real test was some reaction to the fingerprinted paper. The real ending was a pleasant surprise.

Scribble it out and write in, "Sex"?

I love it. I hope this makes it into an episode!

Woah, TMI.

Was everyone picturing humanoids? Or something odder? My imagination has this set in the year 2200, and on earth, where humans have entered a symbiotic relationship with colossal aliens. As this story is told, the deal struck is ancient enough that oral tradition remembers nothing before its incept...

That's fantastic.

Still listening like a demon so I feel comfortable voting in the other two categories, but here are my votes for this one. In no particular order:

230, 228, 208, 98, 19, 200, 206, 212, 223, b15

Love it.

Which, if you think about it, would be one hell of a ventriloquism act.

First post a drabble! Well done. A nice drabble, too, though I had to read the last sentence a couple times to get it. Also, you might consider changing "religiously" to "faithfully" or "dutifully" -- I think that the latter have more of a sense of "doing it because you have to"? (Also, part of me i...

OK, from now on I'm running the shower for a good five minutes before I step into it. *shudder*

I didn't see a transcription, but he does have a video version up on YouTube.

Now I'm definitely not using that Groupon for "quaint bed and breakfast in Innsmouth".

Beautiful. Love the ending.

This was just excellent. All three stories were great and well-read. I'm not 100% sure I understood what happened in Trespasser, but I enjoyed being along for the ride. Six Pieces had a very good premise, handled well, and the ending was well-judged. Boll Weevil was beautifully drawn, it pulled me r...
