Hello and welcome to the Dravell cast episode 402.

The Dravell cast is a weekly audio fiction magazine that brings strange stories

by strange authors to strange listeners such as yourself.

I'm your guest host, Dremblecast Associate Editor Sandra O'Dell.

When Norm asked if I would like to host this episode,

I grabbed the saousier by the horns

and counted my chickens faster than an idiom could fall buttered side down.

Then he asked if I would let him out of the cage,

and I told him I'd have to think about it.

Wouldn't want to rush into anything, you know.

Let's get to know each other over a drabble, shall we?

Our drabble this week is called Sarah by drabble

forum member Ford Benjamin, read by our own uncle Norm, here goes. My daughter held my hand as we walked down Mitchell Avenue.

Her tiny fingernails dug carelessly into my palm.

Are you okay, darling?? Yes I'm just thinking. About what? I feel sorry

for the people who have to walk on that side of the street, She pointed to the east side of the avenue.

Why? Because I don't think they know they're dead yet. They're still doing the work

they did in their waking lives. They don't know.

I smiled down at her, the simple innocence of youth. Maybe someday I'll tell her that's the living side of the street. Innocence indeed. Well, Women's and Aliens Month continues with the moving

stars by Primi Muhammad. Primi is an Indo-Caribbean scientist and Speck Fick author based out of Canada.

Her short fiction has appeared in analog, Sudopod, Mythic Delirium, Automata Review, and other venues.

Her debut novel is scheduled for a 2020 release from Solaris Books.
