Our third story for the month of October 2025, issue 229, is titled Crabs Don't Scream,

and is by H.H. Pach is a Los Angeles-born child of Korean immigrants and a strong believer in the power of sacrificial love. When they are not

working towards their aspirations in the medical field or co-editing for Wormhole Magazine,

they dream about space operas, make cringe art, and bother their dog

in Clark's World, and you can go listen to Never Eat In Vegetables, 24 hours, and scalp.

So, my dear listener, I hope that you can sit back, relax, and let me tell you a story.

You fall in love at a train station 15 seconds before the end of the world.

Flustered, you slip back 200 years and fall against a cafe table, spilling cream and coffee all over a businessman.

Sorry, you say, then don't know what to say next,
