<p>Hello my survivor friends.&nbsp;</p><p>For new listeners you should go back to season one episode one to start the five season After the Apocalypse story. You have a wonderful 100 episode journey in front of you.&nbsp;Enjoy.&nbsp;It took me 5 years to produce, it will probably take you 5 days to consume.&nbsp;So go get started! Or you can listen to the trailer which should be the first episode in the feed. </p><p>Today, for my ongoing and habitual survivor friends we present the first of two stories that Patrick and I wrote for a story contest that my publisher hosted in the fall.&nbsp;</p><p>It was a 24 hour story contest.&nbsp;We were sent a prompt and some instructions and had 24 hours to write and submit a story.&nbsp;</p><p>I had Austin read them into audio for us.&nbsp;</p><p>I’m going to start with the story I wrote.&nbsp;Fair warning, this is a short story, only 900 words, because that’s what the rules were.&nbsp;If you went over 900 words, you got disqualified.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
