Hello and welcome to the Drapylcast, episode of 491. The Drapylcast is an audio fiction magazine that brings strange stories by strange authors to strange listeners such as herself. I'm your host Norm Sherman.

Great show for your folks this week. Another weird story that feels about as

drabble cast as it gets thanks to our amazing slush team headed by our

amazing editor Nicole and they can't wait to tell it to you

But first just a quick heads up and thanks to you all that jumped into the kickstarter for my next studio album this past month

I'm stoked report we hit 150% of our funding goal.

So what's happening folks?

Late pledges are still going on so you can get in on things

if you want a digital download, CD or vinyl.

I'll throw a link in her show notes or you can just do a search for Norm Sherman

on Kickstarter to bring it right up. But either way I'm already

at work writing and polishing songs. Got a fun and busy rest of the year in store for me.

Thanks again to everyone who supported it and made the instruction book project a reality.

I love that y'all are into my music. It makes me really

enthusiastic to slap out some bangers. That's an industry term I believe. For

now though, let's celebrate with a drabble. Dabble's are stories exactly one hundred words, not a word more or less.

And in addition to being great writing exercises, they're also great little digestible story appetizers.

Our travel this week comes from Chris Clemens and it's called

Totally Normal Treasure. Here goes.

If you ever discover a big wooden chest full of Spanish to blooms or sparkling gems, don't stop to ask questions.

Rush over greedily before someone else notices.

Ignore the golden coins lying in the lid, glinting at your approach that looked nothing like cruel
