Hello and welcome to the travel cast is an audio fiction.

What? What? I'm just doing the intro like usual, no big deal.

Why'd you prompt me to dub in that record scratch fully with your panicked hysterical gaze?

You look a little unhinged. I like it.

Oh, you mean the travel cast? Where'd we go? You thought old Uncle Norm had finally gone poking around the wrong old

abandoned storm cellar in the woods and something pretty cool but awful did something horrible

but interesting to him? Nah, trust me you'd be the first to know.

I'd be dead, but it'd be like in the movies.

You'd pause in the middle of whatever you were just saying and put your hands to your temples and

be like, I'm sorry, I just, and the person you were just talking to will be all concerned but you'll shake

him off and be like no no it's not me it's I felt something norm

uh he's this host at this podcast I listen to. It's pretty weird. But I mean the good kind of weird, you know, like weird stories, fiction. I bet you'd like it, actually. You should check it out. Anyways, something compelling in the woods, or possibly underground just consumed him

Something cool, but also something I guess ultimately capable of subduing him

Now he's gone and I don't know how I know I just I felt it a ripple in the strangeness it was him letting us know

And also something about a talisman in Utah on some fortnight. I don't know.

Okay, Norm.

Anyways, what were you saying?

Why are you looking at me weird?

He's the weird one.

This is a podcast to listen to.

Nope, not dead, not pod-fated, but neither are we the same.

We're molting, you see.
