KEZ'S CHRISTMAS ADVENT CALENDAR!
We gathered 12 writers from the H&C community and let them dip their hands into our Secret Santa bucket. From the bucket each writer pulled out a word, and from that word, they were asked to write and narrate a very, very short story.
Today’s word was… jumper.
And the story is The Vessel.
Written and narrated by James Barnett AKA Jimmy Horrors (www.JamesBarnettCreative.com)
Edited by Karl Hughes (https://twitter.com/karlhughes)
With evil Christmas music by Duncan Muggleton (https://temporalrecordings.wordpress.com)
Along with a seasonal spin on the original The Other Stories theme by Thom Robson (https://www.thomrobsonmusic.com/).
