Escape Odd, episode 643. Flashback Friday.

Disarm.

By Vila Kaptan. I'm goingistair, your host, and every month in this

slot I pull the story from the archives and take a look at it with new eyes. This month, that story

is by Vylar Kaftan.

Vylar has been a frequent flyer here and has recently sold a novella to tour called

Her Silhouette, drawn in water that I can't wait to read.

Your narrator for this story is Matt Weller, whose sterling work on

our social media has been a mainstay of the last few years. He's recently stepped down

friend of me and the show Mr. Matt Wallace. So let's go because it's story time.

He shrugged and said, someone needs the protein.
